The present prescriptive design standards are a major barrier to innovations and they limit competition in the construction industry. The goal of the research is to develop a concept for a new seismic design code that is consistent with its predecessors, performance-oriented, and convenient for both design of new, and seismic evaluation of existing buildings. The current research is analytical, and its will be: |
|
Tools and procedures to assess the demand on and behavior of a structure
exposed to an
earthquake. Charts of Seismic Performance built up in a multi-dimensional domain of major structural and earthquake parameters. The research will provide the future seismic codes with a sound methodological foundation and facilitate a broad range of seismic risk management activities. |
