Abstract:

Displacement based design (DBD) methods are emerging as the latest tool for performance-based seismic design. Of the many dierent DBD procedures proposed in recent years there are few that are developed to a standard suitable for implementation in modern design codes. This paper presents the ndings of a study that uses eight dierent DBD methods to undertake the seismic design of ve dierent case studies. Some significant limitations with the eight methods have been identied through their application to realistic design examples. The study also shows that despite all of the DBD methods using the same set of design parameters, a large variation in design strength is obtained.
