Abstract

Displacement based methods are structural performance evaluation methods, used to determine the structural behavior of existing structures under earthquake effect using nonlinear analyses. After recent earthquakes, the performance evaluation methods become common for earthquake assessment of the existing structures. In pre-standard sources, performance evaluation methods are defined as “Capacity Spectrum” and “Displacement Coefficient” Methods. In Turkey, with new version of Turkish Design Code published in 2007, linear and nonlinear performance evaluation methods are given. In this study, Capacity Spectrum, Displacement Coefficient methods, elastic method given in Turkish Design Code’07 and time history analyses are investigated and compared for a sample R/C building.
