Introduction to a Model Code for Displacement-Based Seismic Design

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Advances in Performance-Based Earthquake Engineering

Part of the book series: Geotechnical, Geological and Earthquake Engineering ((GGEE,volume 13))

Abstract

The last decade has seen major developments in the field of displacement-based seismic design with a number of effective methods now available in the literature. Developments have been particularly significant for the Direct displacement-based design (DDBD) method, with the publication of a book on the subject in 2007 and now a draft model code. In this paper, the background and motives for the new draft model code are reviewed. Novel aspects of the draft model code requirements are discussed and areas in need of additional development and research are identified.
