Performance-based seismic design (PBSD) has been recognized as a framework for designing new buildings in the United States in recent years. Various guidelines and standards have been developed to codify and document the implementation of PBSD, including “ Seismic Evaluation and Retrofit of Existing Buildings” (ASCE 41-17), the Tall Buildings Initiative’s Guidelines for Performance-Based Seismic Design of Tall Buildings (TBI Guidelines), and the Los Angeles Tall Buildings Structural Design Council’s An Alternative Procedure for Seismic Analysis and Design of Tall Buildings Located in the Los Angeles Region (LATBSDC Procedure). The main goal of these documents is to regularize the implementation of PBSD for practicing engineers. These documents were developed independently with experts from varying backgrounds and organizations and consequently have differences in several degrees from basic intent to the details of the implementation. As the main objective of PBSD is to ensure a specified building performance, these documents would be expected to provide similar recommendations for achieving a given performance objective for new buildings. This article provides a detailed comparison among each document’s implementation of PBSD for reinforced concrete buildings, with the goal of highlighting the differences among these documents and identifying provisions in which the designed building may achieve varied performance depending on the chosen standard/guideline. This comparison can help committees developing these documents to be aware of their differences, investigate the sources of their divergence, and bring these documents closer to common ground in future cycles.

Earthquake Ground Motions

Seismic response spectra are amongst one of the most important tools for characterizing earthquake ground motions. In design practice, the response spectra are presented without including any load history, hence the nonlinear analysis of structures based solely on conventional earthquake response spectra is theoretically unsound, particularly for long-period or vertically irregular high-rise buildings. In this paper, a concept of seismic damage evolution is introduced and the method of analysis for characterizing the process of seismic damage to structures under earthquakes is presented. Seismic damage evolution spectra for analysis and design of high-rise buildings are then developed as an effective means of describing and simplifying earthquake ground motions. These spectra are shown to be very useful in selecting the ground motion-time history and, particularly, validating the equivalent static-load analysis and design of high-rise buildings under near-fault pulse-like ground motions. Case studies of the seismic inelastic performance of two vertically irregular, tall buildings are presented considering the seismic damage evolution spectra.

Abstract The use of multiple tuned mass dampers (MTMDs) to monitor earthquake response of tall buildings is investigated. The MTMDs are located in three locations in the reinforced concrete (RC) structures. The time domain seismic analysis is performed on Etabs Software using imperial Earth movement used to analyze contemporary history. The performance of the MTMDs is compared to that of a TMD on the top floor, a TMD on the third and fifth floors, a TMD on each floor, and no TMD. The base shear vs time and displacement parameters were examined, and it was determined that the MTMDs on each floor are better for the building’s seismic response. Furthermore, it has been discovered that MTMDs are more powerful than STMDs.

This conference, held in Tokyo in April 1977 and organized by the Japanese Organizing Committee, with the support of A.S.M.E., I. Mech E. and a European Participation Committee, attracted 400 delegates from all over the world. More than 100 papers were presented in parallel sessions on a wide variety of pressure-wessel topics; there were also ‘panel sessions’ for the discussion of specific topics. The classification of the numerous and diverse topics covered in the papers was not easy and there were inevitably omissions and misfits in the contents of the sessions. This review covers the papers presented in the sessions on Analysis and Design, Seismic Analysis and Dynamics, and Creep; some of the original groupings have been retained, but an attempt has been made to bring the papers more effectively together into well-defined sets.
