Abstract
Force-based design (FBD) method has been practiced for a long time which focuses on the seismic force over the structure. Problems associated with FBD are assumed stiffness of structural elements, inappropriate R factors and others. Thus, a new alternative method is required to overcome these differences. Direct displacement-based design method (DDBD) provides an efficient alternative. It is more straightforward which aims to achieve a specified acceptable level of damage under the design earthquake. The main aim of DDBD is to define the target displacement profile for the structures. In this study, the performance of low- and medium-rise building is evaluated using FBD and DDBD method and results have been compared. Both structures are designed according to Indian standard loading in compliance with IS 1893 (part 1) 2016. Non-linear analyses have been carried out for evaluating structural performance like base shear, maximum displacement and inter-storey drift ratio (IDR%). From the study, it can be concluded that DDBD method is more effective than FBD method.
