Document title:
Direct displacement-based seismic design of concrete buildings
Author(s):
PRIESTLEY M. J. N. and KOWALSKY M. J.
Abstract
A seismic design procedure is developed to enable concrete buildings to be designed to achieve a specified acceptable level of damage under the design earthquake. The acceptable limit is defined as a displacement profile related to limit material strains or code specified drift limits. In this procedure, the elastic properties, including initial stiffness, strength and period, are the end product of the design rather than the starting point. It is shown that the procedure is simple to apply, and results in significant differences from the more conventional force-based procedure. Designs for multi-storey frame and wall buildings are presented, and target displacements are compared with results from inelastic time-history analysis.

ABOUT THIS BOOK
This volume represents the proceedings of the First International Conference on Sustainability in Energy and Buildings, SEB’09, held in the City of Brighton and Hove in the United Kingdom, organised by KES International with the assistance of the World Renewable Energy Congress / Network, and hosted by the University of Brighton.
KES International is a knowledge transfer organisation, which for over a decade has provided high-quality conference events and publishing opportunities for researchers in the area of Knowledge Based and Intelligent information and Engineering Systems. KES International is a community consisting of several thousand research scientists and engineers who participate in KES activities. Now KES is starting to make a contribution in the area of Sustainability and Renewable Energy with this first conference in a series dedicated to renewable energy and its application to domestic and other buildings.
In addition to featuring papers from a range of Renewable Energy and Sustainability related topics, SEB’09 was intended to explore two innovative themes:-
- The application of intelligent sensing, control, optimisation and modelling techniques to sustainability;
- The technology of sustainable buildings.
This volume contains 43 papers selected from a much larger number of submissions after reviews by experts in the field. The papers are grouped in the themes under which they were presented, namely Smart Sustainability, Solar and Wind Energy, Technologies for Sustainable Buildings, Clean and Renewable Energy, Engineering Intelligence and Energy Technologies, Building Energy Efficiency and Performance and Novel Techniques for Energy Efficiency.
We believe these proceedings will form a record of recent research results, useful for engineers, students, professionals, managers and many others working in this leading-edge field.

This book, the first in this new field of materials science, aims to present a coherent picture of the design principles and resulting properties of self healing materials over all material classes, and to offset them to the current design principles for structural materials with improved mechanical properties. Where appropriate a comparison to natural materials is made. As such it will be a landmark and a reference work in the coming years.
The book consists of a number of invited contributions from leading experts in the field. While each chapter describes a separate approach or a different aspect of self healing materials, the common structure of each chapter creates a coherent and consistent picture of this emerging and challenging field. Hence the book is not only a valuable asset for professional materials scientists but it is also suitable as a text book for courses at MSc level.

This International Standard specifies general principles for the verification of the reliability of structures subjected to
known or foreseeable types of action. Reliability is considered in relation to the performance of the structure
throughout its design working life.
The general principles are applicable to the design of complete structures (buildings, bridges, industrial structures,
etc.), the structural elements making up the structure and the foundations.
This International Standard is also applicable to the successive stages in construction, namely the fabrication of
structural elements, the transport and handling of the structural elements, their erection and all work on site, as well
as the use of the structure during its design working life, including maintenance and repair.
To allow for the differences in design practice between different countries, the national standards or codes of
practice may be simpler or more detailed in comparison with this International Standard.
Generally the principles are also applicable to the structural appraisal of existing constructions or assessing
changes of use. However in some respects this is associated with special aspects of the basic variables and
calculation models. Such aspects are considered in clause 10.
NOTE — When this International Standard is applied in a particular country for the development of its standards, it is
admissible not to use those clauses which are not in accordance with the regulations of that particular country.

This book is an updated, revised version of a highly successful text published in 1971 by the same authors. The fundamentals of creep deformation, rupture and component analysis of the first edition have been updated and re-organised. After reviewing developments in high temperature design over the last 20 years, substantial new material is presented on factors affecting continuum damage, fracture, fatigue and their interactions. Progress in the integration of new concepts into rational design procedures is analysed in a major new chapter with particular reference to better known codes of practice used internationally.
