New static and dynamic displacement-based procedures have been developed by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) for the seismic evaluation and design of buildings. The static procedures calculate displacements in yielding buildings as the product of an elastic spectral displacement and co

A methodology was presented by the author in a previous paper for the development of design criteria for buildings. This methodology was based on the principles of structural reliability and structural dynamics. This paper illustrates how many elements of this methodology have been implemented and e
The effect of higher modes on the maximum response of buildings subjected to one horizontal component of earthquake ground motion is discussed with the objective of developing better design formulas for use in building design. Ideal buildings of different numbers of storeys and structural systems ar
The widespread destruction of the built environment in the Kobe region as a result of the 1995 Hyogo-ken Nanbu earthquake was unexpected by many design professionals, academicians and researchers, both in Japan and the United States. Questions raised in the aftermath of the earthquake include: 'What
In this paper we present control design methods that provide desirable levels of performance and simultaneously account for actuator and sensor reliability (or malfunction) for buildings under seismic excitations. Performance is de"ned in terms of the disturbance attenuation (i.e. ΒΈ gain) from the d
