In modern earthquake engineering, seismic performance properties are more important than the resistance properties of structures. Seismic performance of a structure is related to the expected damage level under an earthquake excitation, and how this damage relates to safety and use of the building. Accordingly, estimation of member deformations becomes more critical than the estimation of internal forces since the deformations in the post elastic regions of the structure are well correlated with damage in these regions. Fundamental issues of performance based seismic design in the next generation of seismic codes are evaluated in this paper. Their ranges of applicability, limitations and prediction accuracies are evaluated comparatively. Finally, difficulties in the practical implementation of these procedures and the required level of engineering knowledge are discussed. Basic examples are presented on the implementation of performance based design.

Genealogy of Performance-Based Seismic Design: Is the Present a Re-crafted Version of the Past? Gulkan, P.; Sozen, Mete A. (2017-06-14) Structural engineering for earthquake resistance is undergoing a major revision in its approach toward the fulfillment of seismic safety and utilitarian serviceability in design. Rather than sticking to the established precepts of prescriptive design rules, design has turned toward the achievement of specific results through procedures that are tailored for different buildings and uses. These procedures represent notable research contributions, but they are complicated conceptually for implementation in str...
Multi-objective performance based design optimization of steel structures Eser, Hasan; Hasançebi, Oğuzhan; Yakut, Ahmet; Department of Civil Engineering (2021-5) Seismic performance of structures designed in accordance with conventional force-based design (FBD) codes can vary significantly since (1) estimation and distribution of earthquake loads are based on initial stiffness of members and (2) force reduction factors are based on the rough assumption that all members will yield simultaneously. In recent decades, attempts to predict the seismic performance of structures resulted in the development of several guidelines for evaluation and rehabilitation of existing ...
Nonlinear performance analysis of steel lattice energy distribution towers Köşker, Yunus Anıl; Baran, Eray; Department of Civil Engineering (2022-2) Steel lattice tower structures play a vital role in overhead energy transmission and distribution networks. The safety of the towers has a great significance in order to keep power systems functioning. Despite their crucial function, these structures are susceptible to damage and sometimes total collapse as a result of environmental overloading. The collapse of tower structures in varying magnitude has been reported due to changing global weather patterns in the past few years. On January 16th, 2019, strong...
Impact of local site effects on seismic risk assessment of reinforced concrete bridges Ozsarac, Volkan; Ricardo, Monteiro; Askan Gündoğan, Ayşegül; Calvi, Gian Michele (2023-01-01) In most practical applications of performance-based earthquake engineering, the local site characteristics are considered simplistically, and soil-structure interaction effects are ignored. Within such a conventional approach, the ground motion record selection uses the time-averaged shear-wave velocity in the top 30 m of the soil profile (VS30) as the main proxy to represent the site where the structure is located. This study aims to assess the impact of local site effects on the risk assessment of reinfor...
Analysis Methods for the Investigation of the Seismic Response of Concrete Dams Aldemir, Alper; Yilmazturk, Sema Melek; Yucel, Ali Riza; Binici, Barış; Arıcı, Yalın; Akman, Altug (2015-01-01) The consideratiOn of the dam-foundation-reservoir interaction is extremely important for estimating the seismic response of concrete gravity dams. Moreover, nonlinear analysis may be required for determining the possible risk associated with dams. In order to address these issues, DSI recently published the "Guidelines for Seismic Design of Concrete Dams". Authors who have contributed to the preparation of this document provide a perspective on the seismic safety/design of concrete dams and structural analy...
