Performance-based Design
 The basic concept of performance based seismic
design is to provide engineers with the capability to
design buildings that have a predictable and reliable
performance in earthquakes.
 Thus the Performance-based seismic design is a
process that permits design of new buildings or
upgrade of existing buildings with a realistic
understanding of the risk of life, occupancy and
economic loss that may occur as a result of future
earthquakes.

5. 5
Performance-based design begins with the selection
of design criteria stated in the form of one or more
performance objectives. Each performance objective
is a statement of the acceptable risk of incurring
specific levels of damage, and the consequential
losses that occur as a result of this damage, at a
specified level of seismic hazard.

Determination of Performance
Point

11. 11
Generally, a team of decision makers, including the
building owner, design professionals, and
building officials, will participate in the selection
of performance objectives for a building.
Once the performance objectives are set, a series
of simulations (analyses of building response to
loading) are performed to estimate the probable
performance of the building under various
design scenario events.
If the simulated performance meets or exceeds the
performance objectives, the design is complete
otherwise it has to be redesigned.

12. 12
Advantages of Performance
Based Seismic Design
Systematic methodology for assessing the performance capability of a building
Design individual buildings with a higher level of confidence
Design individual buildings to achieve higher performance and lower potential
losses.
Design individual buildings that fall outside of code-prescribed limits with
regard to configuration, materials, and systems to meet the performance
intended by present building codes
Assess the potential seismic performance of existing structures and estimate
potential losses in the event of a seismic event.
Performance-based seismic design offers society the potential to be both more
efficient and effective in the investment of financial resources to avoid future
earthquake losses

13. 13
Differences between traditional approach
and performance based approach
1) Conventional limit-states design is typically a two-level design
approach having concern for the service operational and
ultimate-strength limit states for a building, performance-
based design can be viewed as a multi-level design approach
that additionally has explicit concern for the performance of a
building at intermediate limit states related to such issues as
occupancy and life-safety standards.
2) The performance based analysis is based on quantifying
the deformation of the members and the building as a whole,
under the lateral forces of an earthquake of a certain level of
seismic hazard. Traditional Approach-Force based Design
has no measure of the deformation capability of members or
of building.

14. 14
3) The deformation or strains are better quantities to assess
damage than stress or forces. Since the deformation are
expected to go beyond the elastic values.
4) The performance based analysis gives the analyst more
choice of ‘performance’ of the building as compared to the
limit states of collapse and serviceability in a design based
on limit state method.
5)Traditional based design uses Elastic behavior where as
Performance based design uses inelastic behavior

15. 15
Methods of analysis

16. 16
Methods of analysis
Generally for analyzing the structure the following analysis
methods are used depending upon the requirements.
1) Linear static procedure
2) Linear dynamic procedure
3) Nonlinear static procedure
1. Pushover analysis
2. Capacity spectrum method
4) Nonlinear dynamic procedure
1. Time history Analysis
Push-over and Time History analyses tools to perform non-linear
analysis are considered.

17. 17
 pushover analysis is the one which is suitable for the
performance based seismic design, because elastic
analyses are insufficient, therefore they cannot realistically
predict the force and deformation distributions after the
initiation of damage in the building.
 Inelastic analytical procedures become necessary to
identify the modes of failure and the potential for
progressive collapse.
 Inelastic time-history analysis are most realistic analytical
approach for evaluating the performance of a building.
However, the inelastic time-history analysis is usually too
complex and time- consuming in the design of most
buildings.

18. 18
What is Push-Over Analysis?
• Push-over analysis is a technique by which a computer model of the
building is subjected to a lateral load of a certain shape (i.e., parabolic,
inverted triangular or uniform).
• Building is pushed in one horizontal direction. The intensity of the lateral
load is slowly increased and the sequence of cracks, yielding, plastic
hinge formations, and failure of various structural components is recorded.
• Proportion of applied force on each floor is constant , only its magnitude
is increased gradually (i.e., Load pattern may be 1st mode shape,
parabolic, uniform, inverted triangular etc.).
• Material nonlinearity is modeled by inserting plastic hinge at potential
location.

19. 19
Continued…
• A series of iterations are usually required during which, the structural
deficiencies observed in one iteration, are rectified and followed by
another.
• This iterative analysis and design process continues until the design
satisfies a pre-established performance criteria.
• The performance criteria for push-over analysis is generally established
as the desired state of the building given a roof-top or spectral
displacement amplitude.
• Push over analysis requires a large number of assumptions and
member response curves are to be provided to the program before it
can analyze.

Why Push-Over Analysis?
• Static Nonlinear Analysis technique, also known as sequential yield
analysis, or simply "push-over" analysis.
• To get the performance level of structure in case of seismic load.
• Elastic analysis cannot predict failure mechanism and account for
redistribution of forces during progressive yielding.
• The use of inelastic procedure for design and evolution is an attempt to
help engineer better understand how structures will behave when
subjected to major EQ, where it is assumed that the elastic capacity of
the structure will be exceeded.

22. 22
What is Time History Analysis?
• Time History analysis is a step by step analysis of the
dynamical response of a structure to a specified loading
that may vary with time.
• The performance analysis may be
– Linear
– Non-linear

23. 23
Why Linear Time History Analysis?
• To get the variation of forces at each time step and to get the maximum
response under the the particular time history.
• To verify the design of structure. If forces in the member are within the
design forces, then no need to do Non- Linear time history analysis.
• If the forces are exceeding the design forces, then Non-Linear time
history analysis is required to understand the performance of structure.

24. 24
Why Non-Linear Time History
Analysis?
• Elastic analysis cannot predict failure mechanism and account
for redistribution of forces during progressive yielding.
• Certain part may yield when subject to major earthquake.
• To get the performance level of structure in case of seismic
load.
• The use of inelastic procedure for design and evolution is an
attempt to help engineer to better understand how the
structures will behave when subjected to major EQ.

Plastic Hinge Pattern
• Pushover analysis
• Outer columns at all storey level yielded first
• Beams showing hinges in yielding stage at one end only in
the DBE level
• Beams in the MCE Level at all the storey levels except
topmost showing hinges in yielding stage.
• Time History Analysis
• More number of hinges at yielding in beam ends model
compared to pushover analysis at both DBE and MCE
levels.
• At MCE level middle columns in upper stories also yielded;
but in the pushover analysis not showing hinges in any
column.

Plastic Hinge Pattern
• Pushover analysis
 At final step (frame roof pushed up to
4% of height of frame) - hinge
formation started with yielding in outer
columns at all stories
 and yielding of few beam ends in
upper stories.
 Middle columns in the upper stories
start yielding with simultaneous
yielding of base columns.
 Beams experienced less number of
hinges than columns but shows
significant damage or failure stage.

46. 46
Conclusions
• Base shear from time history analysis are 23% and 32%
higher than pushover analysis at DBE and MCE levels.
• Roof displacement at DBE and MCE levels indicates that
frame satisfies the requirement for Life Safety performance
at DBE level and not satisfies the requirement for Collapse
Prevention performance at MCE level.
• From analyses the middle storey experience the maximum
interstorey drift ratio at both levels.
• Pushover analysis over estimate the interstorey drift ratio
compared with time history analysis

47. 47
• No significant difference of plastic hinge pattern at
DBE and MCE levels from both analyses
• Time-history analysis shows more number of beam
hinges at both levels.
• From time history analysis at MCE level, middle
column shows yielding but not in pushover
analysis.
• The behaviour of frame designed for gravity load
shows column side sway mechanism.

present study. All the buildings are rectangular in plan with same
plan dimensions and storey height. The plan view and sectional

51. 51
• Analysis results shows that, hinges will be formed earlier
in frames of structures without strut action than frames of
structures with strut action
• It is observed that, in all the cases, the fundamental time
period of the structure with strut action is considerably
less than the structures without strut action.
• Figure, compares the roof displacement of G+3, G+4,
G+5 and G+6 frames with and without strut action.
• The graph shows that roof displacement get
considerably (50%) reduced with strut action.

52. 52
CONCLUSIONS
From the pushover and time-history analyses of 2D RC frames with
infill, the following conclusions are drawn:
• It is found that the fundamental time period of the structure get
considerably reduced due to strut action. This will alter the response
of the structure to lateral loads.
• In addition strut action will considerably reduce the roof
displacement. This will increase the safety level of the structure.
• Hence it is recommended to model infill stiffness using equivalent
diagonal struts for any lateral load analysis.
