3 cards from this section. Quick, good the night before a test.
What does Displacement-Based Seismic Design focus on?
Think about what happens to structures during an earthquake.
Define pushover analysis.
It’s about pushing the structure to see how much it can take.
What is the primary focus of Displacement-Based Seismic Design?
Think about what happens to buildings during earthquakes.
True or False: The pushover analysis applies loads incrementally to assess structural capacity.
Recall what pushover analysis is designed to evaluate.
Imagine a 10-story building designed under traditional force-based methods. The expected lateral force is 100 kN. Discuss how this design may fail when focusing only on force without considering the displacement experienced during an earthquake.
Consider the performance history of buildings during past earthquakes.
You are tasked with designing a new commercial building in a seismic zone. Outline how you would apply displacement-based seismic design principles to ensure adequate safety.
Refer to actual building codes for guidelines on seismic load calculations.
