Force-Based Seismic Design (codes)
Although the structure is designed to yield during the design
earthquake, only the elastic part of the response, up to yield,
is examined. The analysis is based on the corresponding
secant stiffness.
The design loads are determined by dividing the seismic loads
that would be developed to the equivalent linear system by the
behaviour factor, q.
A unique value of q is considered for the whole structure,
which does not reflect the real response.
In order to satisfy the non-collapse criterion, capacity design
rules and proper detailing are applied, which lead to safe and
rather conservative design. However, the real deformation of
the structure (displacements) is usually underestimated.
I. N. Psycharis Displacement-Based Seismic Design 3
Displacement-Based Design (DBD)
The real deformation of each member of the structure is
examined.
Two approaches:
Method A
Check of an already pre-designed structure and make
improvements (increase dimensions of cross section) only to
members that have problems.
Method B
Design from the beginning the structure for a certain
displacement (Direct Displacement-Based Design - DDBD).
The design displacement is usually determined by
serviceability or ultimate capacity considerations.

Pre-dimensioning
Suggested to be based on the serviceability earthquake (can
be taken equal to 40-50% of the design earthquake,
depending on the importance) using the Force-Based
design.
Elastic analysis (q=1) with simplified methods (e.g. lateral
force method of EC8). However, the stiffness corresponding
to the cracked sections must be used (can be taken equal to
25% of the uncracked).
The period can be determined from the Rayleigh quotient:

consideration the actual reinforcement. Approximate formulas
from the literature can be employed.

one for elastic response. Then the coefficients

Method B: DDB design
The design is based on the target displacement,
u
.
The target displacement is defined by
Serviceability criteria; or
Ultimate capacity criteria.
The substitute structure is used:
Effective stiffness at the maximum displacement
Effective damping considering the hysteretic energy
dissipation.
The design is not based on the displacement ductility.

approximation. Suggestion:

Calculate the corresponding ductility =

Calculate the corresponding effective damping,

Effective damping consists of two terms:
the viscous damping, which is assumed equal to the one for
elastic behaviour (5% for RC structures); and
the hysteretic damping, which can be estimated from the
ductility using relations from the literature. Such a relation,
based on the Takeda model, is suggested by the authors:
