As part of the program development, the Tall Buildings Initiative Guidelines for Performance-Based Seismic Design of Tall Buildings, this report focuses on the tall buildings case studies, i.e., those tasks supported through funding by the California Seismic Safety Commission and California Emergency Management Agency. The work involved probabilistic seismic hazard analysis and development of response spectra and scaled ground motions for design and analysis; design of three tall buildings and their structural systems, each according to three different criteria; analysis of the building designs using consistent modeling and analysis procedures; construction cost analysis; development of repair costs associated with damage for projected earthquakes; and iterations to improve the Tall Buildings Initiative Design Guidelines.
