Abstract

For the most part, seismic design builds complex structural systems using the same small number of essential structural components as non-seismic design projects. Based on the building regulations, structures are frequently designed to "withstand" the largest earthquake with a given likelihood that is projected to happen at their location. This means that by avoiding structures from collapsing, the number of fatalities must be maintained to a minimal. Seismic design involves knowing the many failure modes regarding a structure and giving it the right stiffness, strength, ductility, and layout for ensuring that these modes do not take place. In this essay, the present level of knowledge on Performance-based Seismic Design (PBSD) approach is summarized. An updated review of PBSD approach's literature is provided in this study. PBSD is an elastic design process that takes into account the building's potential performance under various ground vibrations. It was studied how the PBPD as well as Pushover Analysis (nonlinear static analysis) derivatives of PBSD approach compare to one another as the best technique for usage in seismic design in future.
