Research on Performance-Based Building Seismic Design Guideline(III)

In addition to the performance objectives, preliminary design procedure, analysis procedures, and acceptance criteria that recommended in the research projects of 2004 and 2005, in this study. We expand the original guideline(draft) with the supplement of the mathematical modeling and the acceptance criteria for the seismic isolation and energy dissipation systems(chapter 7) as well as the architectural, mechanical, and electrical components(chapter 8) to complete the first version of performance-based design guideline(draft) for the first stage. In order to develop the next stage version, we propose a new design framework to take into account the reliability in both the direct displacement-based design as well as the acceptance criteria. Instead of the acceptance criteria for the local member check, the concept of performance check for global structural system is adopted, and the Demand Capacity Factor Method(DCFM) that is recommended in FEMA 350 is employed as the revised acceptance criteria in the next stage version. We also address and discuss the key issues in the new proposed design framework.
