This paper proposes a detailed design method which defines response deformation of buildings as the target design index. In the design, the required base shears corresponding to design deformations for the moderate and severe earthquakes are estimated by the response calculation formulas based on the dynamic theory. Then, the paper examines the obtained restoring force characteristics by the time history response analysis, in order to verify the appropriateness of the proposed design method. It is proved that the proposed method excellently satisfies the target design deformations.
