Performance Based Design Plan for Steel Structure Projects
The building construction industry has witnessed a lot of changes. These changes have provided more efficiency and more effective building procedures. These changes have contributed greatly to bringing out performance based design for various steel structural projects. Let us discuss this. When it comes to steel structures in the framework of structural optimization, it becomes very important to keep designs that are performance based. Basically, the structural performance is evaluated using the reliability demand and resistance methodology. This evaluation also includes points of uncertainties and randomness in capacity and seismic demand. The main aim behind keeping the performance based design is to ensure the structure is able to respond for different hazard levels, that the structure withstands extreme weather conditions and environmental hazards. Purposes Behind Structural Design That is Based on the Performance · To ensure the struc...
