Abstract

This paper presents the results of the nonlinear time history analysis of six different reinforced concrete moment frames. The frames were designed using two major seismic design methods as Force Based Design (FBD) and Direct Displacement Based Design (DDBD) in which former is a conventional method while later one is a performance based approach of design. However, in this study, 4, 8 and 12 stories RC framed building with two × three bays were designed according to Indian standard and the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) considering two design approaches (FBD and DDBD) studied. Analysis and design for this study performed using SAP2000 v15.1 tool. Both design approaches performed using nonlinear time history analysis for five different real recorded ground motions of north-eastern region, India. The parameters such as inter-storey drift, displacement, material strain, and ductility demand obtained from the analyses of the frames designed using both design methods are noted and compared. This study examined, discussed and shown about the applicability of existing methods adopted considering the FBD and DDBD in a cost-effective manner to achieve desired level of performance.
