Work Assumptions
Based on concepts of structural dynamics
extended to systems with non linear
behaviour it is possible to transform the
capacity curve in the behaviour curve of an
equivalent SDFS.
The behaviour curve of an equivalent SDFS
can be idealized as bilinear.
Procedure for the Performance
Based Seismic Design.
Determine the elastic stiffness of the structure and
transform it to the space Sa vs Sd

Existing Approaches for the Design Level
To use as seismic design level demands corresponding to intensities
with a given probability of exceedence. It does not give information on
the rate of exceedence of the performance level.
To use seismic design objectives consisting in pairs of performance level
versus seismic design level corresponding to an exceedence rate of the
performance level.

PBSD Spectra
The only source that contributes to the seismic hazards of Mexico City is the Guerrero gap.
The probability that the structural system develops a ductility > 4 is equal to the probability that
the system has a strength less than that required to reach such ductility.

Behaviour Curve
Conclusions
With this method it is possible to know if a given
performance index can be reached for a structure and a
seismic demand.
With this method it is possible to control displacements and
interstorey drifts and thus satisfy the design objectives.
In general the method does not directly guarantee local
performances e.g. it is not possible to control in a direct
manner the magnitude of plastic rotations in elements,
only their distribution within the structure.
The results obtained with this method suggest the
need to consider in the definition of design spectra
the pos-yielding strength ratio of the capacity
curve of the structure.
As the nominal strengths obtained with this
method need to be modified to standardize the
design of a structure, it is necessary to check that
the modified design satisfies the performance
levels under these new conditions.
Conclusions
The proposed method has the advantage to be able to control
the damage in the structure. This characteristic makes it possible
that a single design may satisfy different performance levels.
The modal spectral version of the method can be applied to more
general cases in which the contribution of higher modes is
important.
The recursive application of this method allows to control the
economic implications of seismic design when varying the
intensity and distribution of damage, balancing the initial costs
with those of repairing the damage and colateral losses due to
the lack of functionality after a design earthquake occurs.
Conclusions
It is shown that it is possible to reach sismic design objectives
considering as design level the corresponding to a rate of
exceedence of a proposed performance level.
Different damage configurations correspond to different
slopes of the secon (inelastic) branchof the behaviour curve
and, as a consequence, different design spectra.
From a practical point of view it is not possible to exactly
satisfy with a single design more than two design levels.
Conclusions
Validate this method for other performance indexes, for which
it is necessary to develop the design spectra for these
performance indexes.
Investigate further the definition and validation of the
performance levels.
Investigate seismic design levels with different probabilities of
exceedence of other design levels.
Considered the assumed relationship of the | parameter in the
Park y Ang damage index with the stiffness degradation of the
structure evaluate the range of values of this parameter in real
structures.
Recommendations
Recommendations
Investigate the relationship strength ductility as it is
possible that a given ductility is reached with more than one
strength.
Develop and validate a methodology which allows to
satisfy with a single design different performance levels.
Calculate design spectra for other ductilities and for other
performance indexes.
Obtain design spectra for different o values and from
them reduction factors, funtion of o, to difine design
spectra based on a reference nominal spectrum.
Consider for the calculation of nominal design
strengths for the elements realistic behaviour
models for the concrete and steel.
Whenever it is impossible to reach a
performance index associated to the global
behaviour of the structure, it is necessary to
modify the structure accordingly and repeat the
procedure.
