---------------------------------------------------------------------***--------------------------------------------------------------------Abstract: Every Civil Engineering structure or building is
inimitable in nature unlike other engineering products
which are constructed in a massive scale using the same
technique repeatedly. The present Project is an attempt to
understand Performance Based Design Approach. The
performance-based seismic design approach enables us to
design new structures more efficiently and to assess existing
structures more realistically. The promise of performancebased seismic engineering is to construct structures with
expected seismic performance. Performance based seismic
design precisely evaluates how building is likely to perform
in given possible earthquake threat. In performance based
design identifying and assessing performance capacity of
structure in an important part of design process, and guide
the many decisions that must be made. Present study based
on performance based seismic design and non-linear
analysis of multi-storey RCC building. Performance based
seismic design is an iterative process, begins with choice of
performance objective followed by preliminary design, an
evaluation whether or not the design meets the performance
objective and finally redesign and reassessment, until
desired performance level is achieved. In this project work
we have carried out performance based seismic design of
multi-storey (G+5) RCC building. Once design is complete,
non-linear analysis is carried out to study seismic
performance of building and found out whether selected
objective is satisfied or not. In this work (G+5) RCC building
is designed as per IS code (IS 1893 (Part 1): 2002, IS 456:
2000) for zone 5, 4 and 3 for Maximum Considered
Earthquake (MCE) and Design based Earthquake (DBE) and
a nonlinear static analysis is carried out using auto plastic
hinges. After the building is designed it is imported to ETABS
platform in order to carry out Pushover Analysis. The
Displacement controlled Pushover Analysis was carried out
and the Pushover Curve were obtained for the building as
per guidelines mentioned in ATC 40. The Capacity Spectrum,
Storey Displacement, Storey Drift, Demand Spectrum and
Performance point of the building was found using the
analysis carried out in ETABS 2015. These results were
compared for each zone from which we can find out how the
building will perform in different zones. From the
Performance point it was found that the Building designed as
per Indian standards was found to be well above Life safety
performance level considering Designed Based Earthquake.
1. Introduction
The concept of performance based design evolved when
designers started realizing that conventional code design
method was not always the most appropriate method.
Different structures have different performance
requirements and it is not appropriate that the same
prescriptive criteria be used for designing different
structures. According to the code guidelines base shear is
calculated on the basis of )mportance factor ) , Zone
factor Z and Average response acceleration coefficient (Sa
/g). Calculated base shear is distributed to floor levels which
depend on amount of mass present at storey level and its
height. After the analysis for lateral forces gives design
forces and moments and combined with forces and moments
due to dead load and live loads according to load
combinations stated in IS 1893(Part 1) : 2002 according to
that we stabilize the structure by using IS 456:2000 followed
by pushover analysis. Performance based seismic design
suggest how a building will perform for given seismic
hazard. Performance based design begins with the selection
of performance objective then preliminary design and check
whether the building meets the performance objective if not
than redesign and reassessment if required.
Fig.1 Performance based seismic design
Performance levels: In general, performance requirement
can be categorized into four classes as operational
(functioning fully after earthquake), immediate occupancy
(slightly damaged but any minor repair could be done
without disrupting the function of the building), immediate
occupancy (slightly damaged but any minor repair could be
done without disrupting the function of the building), life

need to be evacuated for repair), collapse prevention (does
not collapse although the building may be severely damaged

The Maximum Earthquake (ME)/ Maximum
Considered Earthquake
The Serviceability Earthquake (SE): Serviceability
Earthquake is defined as the level of ground shaking that has
a 50 percent chance of being exceeded in a 50 years period.
This level of earthquake ground shaking is on average about
0.5 times the level of ground shaking of the design
earthquake.
The Design Earthquake (DE) / Design Based Earthquake
(DBE): The design earthquake is defined probabilistically as
the level of ground shaking that has a 10 % chance of being
exceeded in a 50 year period.
The Maximum Earthquake (ME) / Maximum Considered
Earthquake (MCE): The maximum earthquake is defined
deterministically as the maximum level of earthquake
ground shaking which may ever be expected at the building
site within the known geological framework. In seismic zone
3 and 4 this intensity of ground shaking may be calculated as
the level of earthquake ground motion that has a 5%
probability of being exceeded in 50 years time period. This
level of ground shaking is typically about 1.25 to 1.5 times
the level of ground shaking of the design earthquake.
Fig: 2 Performance level
Performance objective: A desired level of seismic
performance of the building (performance level) which
describes maximum allowable structure or non structural
damage for a specified level of seismic hazard. Seismic
hazard and damage state are the two essential parts of a
performance objective. Seismic performance is describe by
designating the maximum allowable damage situation
(performance level) for an known seismic hazard
(earthquake ground motion).
Capacity: The expected ultimate strength (in flexure, shear,
or axial loading) of a structural component excluding the
reduction Ф factors commonly used in design of concrete
members. The capacity usually refers to the strength at the
yield point of the element or structure’s capacity curve. For
deformation-controlled components, capacity beyond the
elastic limit generally includes the effects of strain
hardening.
Capacity Curve: The plot of the total lateral force V, of a
structure against the lateral deflection d of the roof of the
structure. This is often referred to as the pushover curve.
Fig: 3 Performance objectives
Seismic hazard: Seismic hazard at a site due to ground
shaking are classified in three earthquake hazard levels

displacement of the building the earthquake will cause. This
point defines the performance point or target displacement.
Location of performance point on the capacity curve is
related to the performance levels, which indicates whether
or not the design meets the performance objectives, and
finally redesign and reassessment, if required, until the
desired performance objective is achieved.
Demand (displacement): A representation of the
earthquake ground motion or shaking that the building is
subjected to. In nonlinear static analysis procedures demand
is represented by an estimation of the displacements or
deformations that the structure is predicted to experience.
In this present work, G+5 storied reinforced concrete frame
building situated in zone 3, 4 and 5 maximum considered
earthquake and design based earthquake is considered for
this study. The number of bays and size is shown in Fig 7.
The total height of the building is 18m. Slab thickness is
considered as 120mm. Beam and column size is 500mm x
600 mm. The building is considered as Special RC momentresisting frame (SMRF) with response reduction factor as
5.0. This building is considered as an educational building as
per that Importance factor is considered as 1.5. Load
combinations are taken as per IS 456: 2000 and IS 1893(part
1): 2002. Dead load on slab is taken as 5 Kn/m2. Live load on
slab is taken as 4 Kn/m2 not considered on roof. Outer
beams consist dead load of 12.5 kn/m and interior beams
consist dead load of 8.1 kn/m. Capacity spectrum method is
carried out as per guidelines mentioned in ATC 40.
Fig: 5 Demand Curve
Performance: It is an intersection point of Capacity curve
and Demand curve. The performance of building is
depending upon the performance of structural and
nonstructural components. From the performance point the
performance of the structure is checked against performance
levels mentioned above.

2. METHODOLOGY
2.1 Basis of the procedure
In Nonlinear static procedure/Pushover analysis, the basic
demand and capacity parameters from the analysis is the
lateral displacement of the building. Capacity curve is the
capacity of the building for particular force distribution and
displacement i.e. base shear v/s roof displacement. If the
building displaces laterally, its response must lie on this
capacity curve. A point on the curve defines a specific
damage state for the structure. By correlating this capacity
curve to the seismic demand generated by a specific
earthquake or ground shaking intensity, a point can be found
on the capacity curve that estimates the maximum

2.2 Pushover Analysis using ETABS
3. Observation
1] Create the basic computer model. Assign sectional
properties, material properties and place columns, beams
and supports to the structure, apply gravity load i.e. dead
load and live load on the structure. Run analysis and find
shear force and bending moments for the applied load and
check whether structure is safe or not according to IS
456:2000.
2] Add lateral forces and allocate load combination as per IS
1893 (Part 1): 2002 and check whether structure is safe or
not.
3] Add Response Spectrum function and assign Response
spectrum load cases, and find out max storey displacement,
max storey drift from Response spectrum method.
4] Add Time history function and assign Time history load
cases, find out peak acceleration, velocity and displacement
of the structure’s response to a ground motion.
5] Define and modify Pushover load cases. In ETABS more
than one pushover load case can be run in the same analysis.
Pushover load cases can be force controlled i.e. pushed to a
certain defined force level, or they can be displacement
controlled, i.e. pushed to a specified displacement controlled.
ETABS contains several built-in hinges that are based on
average values from ATC- 40 for concrete members. M3
hinges have been defined at both the ends of all the beams
and PMM hinges have been defined at both the column ends.
6] Assign pushover hinge properties to beams and columns
by selecting all the frame members at particular hinge
location, run pushover analysis.
7] The capacity curve and capacity spectrum curve is
obtained. The performance point for a given set of values is
defined by intersection of the capacity curve and the single
demand spectrum curve. Observe plastic hinge formation
sequence.

6. CONCLUSIONS
From the results it is concluded that storey displacement and
storey drift both goes on increasing with increase of zone
and are greater in MCE than DBE.
Base shear increases and displacement decreases as the zone
increases hence load carrying capacity increases as the zone
decreases.
