Performance-Based Seismic Design of Concrete Buildings: State of the Practice (ACI Concrete Convention, October 15-19, 2017, Anaheim, California, USA)
Also Known As:
ACI SP-339:2020 is a special publication that reflects the presentations from the ACI Concrete Convention in October 2017. It focuses on the state of practice for Performance-Based Seismic Design (PBSD) of reinforced concrete buildings. PBSD is an alternative to the prescriptive requirements of building codes for seismic design and is rapidly gaining popularity in new construction projects.
The publication is organized into four broad categories, namely state-of-the-art project examples, lateral system demands, design guidelines, and research and observed behavior. The papers included in the publication cover a wide range of topics related to PBSD, such as the design of airport terminals, revitalization of community spaces, design of tall buildings, analysis of diaphragms and shear walls, and assessment of seismic performance.
The authors of the papers included in this special publication share their experience, expertise, and research findings related to PBSD, providing valuable insights into the implementation and benefits of this design approach. The publication serves as a valuable resource for engineers, designers, and researchers involved in the seismic design of concrete buildings.
