(2) Code and specifications: Japanese code requires nonlinear time history analysis for buildings with dampers, or energy-based analysis when using steel dampers. Unlike the code rules leading to iterative design, JSSI specifications give a direct design method (DDM) for any target performance set by designers or clients. (3) Damage-Free Design: Under the government support, a large team of researchers/designers has developed a damage-free design method using dampers and frames of the so-called “super high strength steel”. The method is an extended version of the DDM, and its inclusion in the future code is being investigated. 000010465 540__ $$aText je chráněný podle autorského zákona č. 121/2000 Sb. 000010465 653__ $$a 000010465 7112_ $$a14th World Conference on Earthquake Engineering$$cBejing (CN)$$d2008-10-12 / 2008-10-17$$gWCEE15 000010465 720__ $$aKasai, K.$$iNakai, M.$$iNakamura, Y.$$iAsai, H.$$iSuzuki, Y.$$iIshii, M. 000010465 8560_ $$ffischerc@itam.cas.cz 000010465 8564_ $$s855313$$uhttps://invenio.itam.cas.cz/record/10465/files/S05-02-009.pdf$$yOriginal version of the author's contribution as presented on CD, Paper ID: S05-02-009. 000010465 962__ $$r9324 000010465 980__ $$aPAPER
