The Current limitations of displacement based design.

ABSTRACT

Displacement based design methods are emerging as the latest tool for performance based seismic design. Of the many different displacement based design procedures proposed in recent years there are few that are developed to a standard suitable for implementation in modern design codes. throudh application to various case studies this report identifies and discusses the difficulties a designer may encounter when trying to use displacement based design. It is hoped that by presenting these limitations efforts will be made to develop the methods further so that designers can begin using the methods with ease and confidence
