Performance-based seismic design of concrete buildings: state of the practice : held at the Concrete Convention and Exposition -Fall 2017, Anaheim, California, USA, 15-19, October, 2017 / editors: Jeff Dragovich, Mary Beth Hueste, Brian Kehoe, and Insung Kim.
Sponsored by ACI Committee 374. Includes bibliographical references.
Summary:
Performance-Based Seismic Design (PBSD) of reinforced concrete buildings has rapidly become a widely used alternative to the prescriptive requirements of building code requirements for seismic design. The use of PBSD for new construction is expanding, as evidenced by the design guidelines that are available and the stock of building projects completed using this approach. In support of this, the mission of ACI Committee 374, Performance-Based Seismic Design of Concrete Buildings, is to "Develop and report information on performance-based seismic analysis and design of concrete buildings." This special publication reflects the presentations in Anaheim. Consistent with the presentation order at the special sessions in Anaheim, the papers in this special publication are ordered in four broad categories: state-of-the-art project examples (papers 1-5), lateral system demands (papers 6-8), design guidelines (papers 9-10), and research and observed behavior (papers 11-13).
