The main aim of this course is to introduce the developments in seismic design, differences between traditional and new methods. In mentioned aims, performance-based design of buildings and performance-based design parameter definition, earthquake ground motion, performance objectives and performance levels, identification, seismic hazard concept and the response spectrum concepts are examined. Calculation of seismic behavior of the existing structure, effects cyclical loading to seismic behavior of structures, P-? effects are explained. The methods for performance based analysis are studied.In analysis of methods, the concept of adaptive pushover analysis, the incremental dynamic analysis and nonlinear static methods will be introduced to students.

Understanding the basics of the concept of performance-based analysis. Introduce the concept of advanced static and dynamic analysis. Application of nonlinear static and dynamic analysis techniques. Application of suitable improvement techniques for different performance levels. Determination of performance level of exixting building according to ATC, FEMA and TDY.
