Introduction

Most of the current seismic design codes belong to the category of prescriptive design procedures (or limit-state design procedures), where if a number of checks are satisfied, then the structure is considered safe since it fulfills the safety criterion against collapse. A typical limit-state-based design can be viewed as one- (i.e., ultimate strength) or two-limit-state approach (i.e., serviceability and ultimate strength). Existing seismic design procedures are based on the principle that a structure will avoid collapse if it is designed to absorb and dissipate the kinetic energy that is induced during a seismic excitation. Most of the modern seismic norms express the ability of the structure to absorb energy through inelastic deformation using a reduction or behavior factor that depends on the material and the...
