Seismic Provisions
of Failure Failure redefined to permit behavior (yielding) that would be considered failure under other loads. High Uncertainty Importance of Details
In dealing with earthquakes we must contend with appreciable probabilities that failure will occur in the near future. Otherwise, all the wealth of the world would prove insufficient We must also face uncertainty on a large scale In a way, earthquake engineering is a cartoon Earthquakes systematically bring out the mistakes made in design and construction, even the minutest mistakes.

Isolate structure from ground (Base Isolation) Increase Damping (Passive Energy Dissipation) Allow Inelastic Response
Historically, Building Codes use Inelastic Response Procedure. Inelastic response occurs though structural damage (yielding). We must control the damage for the method to be successful.
4.7
This damage must be controlled by adequate detailing and by limiting structural deformations (drift)

The red line shows the force and displacement that would be reached if the structure responded elastically. The green line shows the actual force vs. displacement response of the structure The pink line indicates the minimum strength required to hold everything together during inelastic behavior The blue line is the force level that we design for. We rely on the ductility of the system to prevent collapse.

distributed in accordance with the distribution of the mass at each level. The Story Shear, Vx, is distributed to the vertical lateral force resisting elements based on the relative lateral stiffnesses of the vertical resisting elements and the diaphragm.
Torsion
See ASCE 7-05 12.8.4.1-3 The analysis must take into account any torsional effects
resulting from the location of the masses relative to the centers of resistance. In addition to the predicted torsion, accidental torsion must be applied for structures with rigid diaphragms by assuming the center of mass at each level is moved from its actual location a distance equal to 5% the building dimension perpendicular to the direction of motion. Buildings of Seismic Design Categories C, D, E, and F with torsional irregularities are to have torsional moments magnified.
Overturning
See ASCE 7-05 12.8.5
The effects of overturning must be considered. The overturning moment at any level is the sum of the
moments at that level created by the Story Forces at each level above it.
