Buildings and Structuresare expected to be
• Safe
• Secure
• Serviceable
• Reliable
• The contents of the structures are often much more valuable than
structure itself
• The loss of service/operations/business is a often larger than repair costs
• Protective
• Friendly
• Sustainable
• Affordable

Building Industry relieson Codes and Standards
• Codes Specify requirements
• Give acceptable solutions
• Prescribe (detailed) procedures, rules, limits
• (Mostly based on research and experience but not always rational)
Spirit of the code is
to help ensure Public Safety and
provide formal/legal basis for design
decisions
Compliance to
letter of the code is
indented to meet the spirit
44
For mostbuildings, dynamic wind response may
be neglected
Gust factor approach predict dynamic
response of buildings with reasonable accuracy
Structures are designed to respond elastically
under factored loads
Structures are designed to respond inelastically
under factored loads
it is not economically feasible to design structures

The Problem with R Factor
The elastic forces obtained from the
standard RSA procedure
The RSA elastic forces reduced by 𝑅
The inelastic forces obtained from the
NLRHA procedure
The actual reduction in RSA
elastic forces. The “reward”
of making a nonlinear model
The underestimation causing a “false
sense of safety” due to directly reducing
the RSA elastic forces by 𝑅 factor
Story Shear (x106 N)
StoryLevel
• The R factor may vary from 2 to 8
depending on definition of structure
type
• R factor could “off” by a factor of 2 to 4
• Other names for R factor are Response
Factor, Behavior Factor (q), Structure
Type factor (K) etc.,
Fawad Najam, 2017
54
The Problem withR (and other) Factors
Reducing each mode with same
factor can underestimate demand
Each Mode undergo different
level of nonlinearity
Modified Modal Superposition
(Priestley and Amaris, 2002)
R applied to only first mode, with
higher modes assumed elastic
Solution
(Rachut, 2013)
Uncoupled modal response history analysis (UMRHA)
R” factor can only
accurately reduce
true demand of the
1st mode

Are All
Buildings
Codes
Correct ?
•All codes have different values of R and other factors
• If they differ, can all of them be correct ?
• Did we inform the structures to follow which code when
earthquake or hurricane strikes ?
• Codes change every 3 or years, should we upgrade our
structures every 3 or 5 years to conform ?

Prescriptive vs. Performance
ApproachProcedure Outcome
Prescriptive
(emphasis on procedures)
Specify “what, and how to do”
Make Concrete: 1:2:4
Implicit Expectation
(a strength of 50 MPA is expected)
Performance Based Approach
(emphasis on Key Performance
Indicators)
What ever it takes
(within certain bounds)
Explicit Performance
Concrete less than 40 MPA is
rejected

Prescriptive Codes –A Shelter and an Impediment
• Public:
• Is my structure safe ?
• Structural Engineer:
• Not sure, but I did follow the “Code”
As long as engineers follow the code, they can be
sheltered by its provisions
63
A Move TowardsPerformance-based Approach

discourage innovation Objective Requirements

• Lack ofexplicit performance in design codes is primary
motivation for performance based design
• Performance based methods require the designer to assess
how a building is likely perform extreme events and their
correct application will help to identify unsafe designs.
• Enables arbitrary restrictions to be lifted and provides
scope for the development of innovative, safer and more
cost-effective solutions

Demand
Capacity
(DC Ratio)
• Definitionof D/C: It is an index that gives an overall
relationship between affects of load and ability of member to
resists those affects.
• This is a normalized factor that means D/C ratio value of 1
indicates that the capacity (strength, deformation etc) member
is just enough to fulfill the load demand.
• Two types of D/C ratio
Members with brittle behavior D/C is checked by Strength
(Elastic)
Members with ductile behavior D/C is checked by deformation
(Inelastic)
• Total D/C ratio of the member is combined of these two.

Slab Outrigger Beams
•Post-tensioned slab was designed as “nonparticipating” system (not part of the
lateral load resisting system) to resist the gravity loads under the expected lateral
displacements.
• Checked by two methods to reduce the likelihood of punching shear failure under
seismic loading.
• Inelastic rotation of the slab outrigger beams was checked in accordance with ASCE 41.
• Story drift with respect to gravity load punching shear D/C ratio was checked in accordance
with ACI 318-08 Sect. 21.13.6.

In the viewof practicing structural engineer a gap
between what is taught and what is needed to
practice in performance based design is filled by on
job learning and knowledge acquired from
experienced engineers
