Abstract

Under major load earthquakes, reinforced concrete structures designed according to the current codes will experience an inelastic deformation which is difficult to predict and control. Performance-based plastic design (PBPD) methodology is applied forward to design reinforced concrete structures in this study. In this method, as performance criteria, the target drift and yield mechanisms are preselected. Based on the work-energy balance principle, the design base shear is given as earthquake level and calculated as work required to push the structure as monotonically load to the target drift. The load equals the energy needed by an equivalent single degree of freedom in the same state. The plastic design is utilized to design the desired yield mechanism. The method was adopted on a 10-story reinforced concrete structure with an earthquake load in lateral forces based on SNI 1726:2019 and the Performance-Based Plastic Design (PBPD) method. Pushover analysis was carried out where the structure was pushed to obtain lateral load resistance followed by yielding gradually until plastic deformation occurred collapse From the pushover analysis, the ductility value for SNI 1726:2019 is less ductile than analytical using the Performance-Based Plastic Design (PBPD) method
