Abstract
This paper presents a simple but efficient displacement-based seismic design procedure, which does not involve a substitute
structure assuming a linear behavior and a viscous damping equivalent to the non-linear response. It is based on the formulations
derived from the capacity-spectrum method using NewmarkHall reduction factors for the inelastic demand spectrum. When apply-
ing such approach for a new design, no spectrum is needed to plot. From the derived formulations, the close relationship between
the target displacement and the stiffness, ductility and strength demands of the structures are clearly shown. Multiple performance
objectives can be considered easily in such a preliminary design procedure and it can be extended to MDOF systems adopting the
idea of effective SDOF systems. 2001 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
