The objective of this study is to link up smoothly the current classical force-based design code to the future version of performance-based design guideline. For the purpose, a transition design framework has been proposed in this report to combine the concepts of seismic use group and seismic design category, which are recommended by FEMA450 and IBC2006, as well as the Demand Capacity Factor Method(DCFM), which is recommended by FEMA 350, to evaluate the performance of a building in a global structural system. Therefore, the seismic design code developed in the next stage can be expected to serve as an intermediate version. In addition, this report would like to address and discuss the key issues in the proposed transition design framework. |
