The paper presents a computer-automated performance-based design procedure for optimally proportioning a steel building framework to resist earthquakes. Modal pushover analysis is employed to evaluate structural demands imposed by design earthquakes representing a range of hazard levels (e.g. immediate-occupancy, life-safety and collapse-prevention). First-order Taylor series and sensitivity analysis are employed to formulate corresponding performance constraints explicitly in terms of member sizing variables and target lateral displacements. A generalised optimality criteria algorithm is employed to find the least-weight structure that experiences minimal damage (as characterised by ductility demand) while simultaneously satisfying all performance constraints at all hazard levels. The design methodology is illustrated for a nine-storey planar steel building framework. |
