NEW EARTHQUAKE RESISTANT DESIGN EXAMPLES IN THE PERFORMANCE-BASE DESIGN FRAMEWORK —STRUCTURAL DESIGN—

Abstract

 Although the performance-based design framework has been introduced to almost all the technical standards, the practical design follows all the specifications stated in the technical standards. This paper aims at showing new earthquake resistant design examples in the performance-based design framework that designers apply the appropriate method according to the design conditions regardless of the specifications in the technical standards. Authors discussed the design results of railway bridge, highway bridge and quay wall considering both source and site specific earthquake ground motion and those specified in the technical standards.
