The development of displacement-based approaches to assessment and design has
created the need for reliable displacement response spectra for a wide range of response …

Recent developments in displacement-based design methodologies have increased the
need for reliable displacement design spectra, especially in long periods. The design …

Displacement-based seismic design and assessment of structures require the reliable
definition of displacement spectra for a wide range of periods and damping levels. The …

The increasing availability of strong-motion accelerograms, and the relative ease with which
they can be obtained compared to synthetic or artificial records, makes the use of real …

After briefly reviewing the history of the development of design codes and the contemporary
performance based objectives for earthquake-resistant structures, this paper considers the …

In recognition of the emergence of displacement-based seismic design as a potentially more
rational approach than force-based techniques, this paper addresses derivation of inelastic …

Using selected sets of high-quality digital strong motion data from different regions (Taiwan,
Japan, Italy, and Greece), the salient features of displacement response spectra in the long …

Empirical equations are presented for the prediction of displacement response ordinates for
damping ratios of 2, 5, 10, 20 and 30% of critical and for response periods up to 4s, using …

In current versions of guidelines or buildings codes for seismic design, site effects are
accounted for through four soil factors which modify the shape of normalized acceleration …

The next generation of seismic design codes, especially those adopting the framework of
performance‐based design, will include the option of design based on displacements rather …
