The study examines the validity of a simple, approximate design methodology, initially proposed in the late 70’s and now recommended in design guidelines to compute rotations of slender structures by performing iteration either on the true displacement response spectrum or design spectrum. This paper shows that the simple design approach is inherently flawed and should be abandoned, in particular for smaller, less-slender blocks.
