Hi there, I am interested in performing "Performance Based Design" for a 20 story building. I'll be performing "Non-Linear Static Pushover Analysis" for my model. Until now, I have decided to go with "Displacement Co-efficient method". I will be using ETABS 2017 for performing Pushover Analysis. While assigning plastic hinges, I have an option of using ASCE 41-17 (Seismic Evaluation and Retrofit of Existing buildings". I would like to know what would be a better estimate for relative distances for plastic hinges in case of beams, columns. Any input concerning assignment of hinges to beams, columns and shear walls is highly appreciated. Normally it's taken 0.05 and 0.95 or 0.1 and 0.9. What's your opinion on this? Secondly, it would be great if someone can recommend me a book or some good source to understand how to characterize building using performance levels. Any sort of help is appreciated. I have recently graduated and joined a structural design firm, so kindly guide me, considering me a beginner.

Aoa, I'm looking for someone to help me in doing Performance Based Seismic Design Using Time History Analysis in ETABS? Plz share any relevant documents & tutorials. Thanks!

A two hour session will be held in the Wah campus of CIIT. The attendees will receive a certificate which can be helpful for engineers in matters of PEC-registration. The speaker will be discussing the topic of performance-based design and evaluation of tall buildings. It is good opportunity for structural engineers to equip themselves with recent advancements regarding the structural analysis and design of tall buildings. The speaker, Dr. NAVEED ANWAR, who is executive director at AIT Solutions, is not only a Structural engineer, but also has been actively involved in software-development of CSI products such as ETABS, SAP2000 and CsiCol. Please find the brochure in the attachment for further details. CPD_Dr Naveed_1.pdf

Dear All, What do you think what are the advantages or disadvantages of code based design And What are the benefits/drawbacks of Performance based design which is also Non Linear Design practice. A short discussion is welcomed. Thanks Muneeb

is it suitable to compare the performance based design and strength design for final year project ??? is there sufficient material available on the topic??
