Advantages

PBD allow us to Optimize the

performance of elements of the
Lateral Force Resisting System
NLDA better captures changing
inelastic damage state of the
structure
Directly addresses the level of
redundancy & safety of the
structure
Increased Useable space due to
elimination of frame beams and
columns of Dual System
More flexibility for parking
circulation
More flexibility for distribution of
Mech/Elec systems
Reduction of Materials from
Conventional Dual System

Creative Thinkers, Cleverly Disguised as Engineers.

Stage 1 Dual System

Material Savings
Reduction in Materials
from Stage 1 to Stage 3
Concrete 6,000 Cu. Yds
Rebar
3.2 M lbs
Formwork
27,000 s.f.

Stage 3 - PBD

15% reduction in total

structural materials

Summary
Performance Based Design
(PBD) better captures the
complex sway effects of tall
buildings
PBD directly addresses the level
of redundancy & safety of the
building structure
C
PBD is a good alternative for
owners to increase useable
space and reduce construction
materials.
PBD takes advantage of
Leading Edge Design tools and
methods, and latest knowledge
in tall building design.
