Abstract
The performance-based design of structure can reach the performance objectives under different earthquakes. Mild steel shear dampers (MSSDs) have a good and stable energy dissipation capacity, and are widely used in seismic reduction structure. This paper presents a performance-based aseismic design method for RC frame with mild steel shear dampers, the numerical model of frame was established by SAP2000, then seismic performance of the frame was studied by time history analysis. Compared with pure frame, the inter-story drift ratio of MSSD frame is significantly decreased under frequent, moderate and rare earthquake respectively, and the performance objectives are satisfied, demonstrating the effectiveness of the performance-based aseismic design method.
