Comparative Assessment of Performance-Based Design Methodologies Applied to a R.C. Shear-Wall Building

Performance-based design has been increasingly used in practice due to computational improvements, the sophistication and dissemination of nonlinear analysis methods, development commercial programs that facilitate its use. We can evaluate effects seismic events great magnitude on structural behavior a building, verify preliminary designs based force-based validate standard regulations, determine deformations, calculate accelerations be translated into parameters damage economic losses, among other functions. Guiding documents have presented methodologies establish requirements, evaluation criteria, etc., each with different objectives, revealing lack consensus method. In this paper, state art performance-based is studied, some most relevant such as ASCE 41-17, 7-16, alternative procedure ACHISINA, are applied structure shear walls designed according current Chilean regulations. Additionally, modal-response spectrum used. The modeling earthquake-resistant preparation records, consideration aspects limit rigorous application method addressed nonelastic framework. Results obtained respective analyses performance compared corresponding criteria for standard, considering characteristics methodology. Moreover, main complications occur during methods discussed.
