On the Design and Evaluation of Seismic Response of RC Buildings According to Direct Displacement-Based Design Approach

Abstract eng:
This paper describes a research work on the evaluation of seismic response of reinforced concrete frames designed according to Direct Displacement-Based Design (DDBD) approach. A group of plane RC frames, characterized by a variable number of storeys, was designed by means of this methodology. Then, seismic performance of designed frames was studied by carrying out pushover and non-linear dynamic analyses. Results of analyses were compared with the seismic behavior expected from design. Some evaluations are also made on the differences between DDBD and more traditional force-based design procedures.
