Case Studies of the Seismic Performance of Tall Buildings Designed by Alternative Means. Task 12 Report for the Tall Buildings Initiative
During the years 2000 through 2008 the western United States experienced a surge in the design and construction of tall buildings. Programmatic and economic demands resulted in many of these buildings being designed by a performance-based approach as an alternative to the prescriptive provisions of the building code. Project engineers, project reviewers, responsible jurisdictions, the research community, and other individuals and organizations with an interest in public safety recognized the need to develop guidance for these performance-based designs. The objective of the Tall Buildings Initiative is to advance the practice of performance-based seismic design of tall buildings through a series of tasks aimed at understanding and gaining widespread acceptance of (a) performance objectives, (b) ground motion selection and modification for design, (c) modeling and analysis procedures, and (d) written guidelines for design and design review.
