Abstract
In this second part of the two-part article, the incorporation of a set of equivalent linear system parameters derived in the preceding article in a direct displacement-based design (DDBD) method is presented. By using the proposed design procedures for reinforced concrete and steel, 16 structures modelled as single degree-of-freedom systems are designed. Their responses are then compared with those obtained from a dynamic inelastic time-history analysis. The results show that the use of the proposed equations to calculate ζeq and T eq and the incorporation of the proposed DDBD procedures to proportion structures will produce reasonably good results with relatively simple computation effort.
