Abstract

Performance‐based earthquake engineering provides a framework for comparing seismic demands with member and system capacities in a way that provides a meaningful measure of expected performance. Demands and capacities may be computed using various approaches. Strength‐ and displacement‐based approaches are applied to assess the performance of a reinforced concrete (RC) moment‐resistant frame building damaged in the Northridge earthquake. Because the building was instrumented, the actual response and observed damage can be compared with expectations determined by calculation.
