A REVIEW ON PERFORMANCE BASED PLASTIC DESIGN METHODOLOGY
Keywords:
Performance Based Plastic Design Method; Target drift; Yield mechanism; performance point.Abstract
Structure designed by Limit State Method (LSM) by using seismic design philosophy as mentioned in IS:
1893 do not clearly consider the inelastic response of structure when subjected to Strong Ground motion. PBPD is one of
the methods which explicitly incorporate the inelastic response of the structure. This Paper presents a review on
Performance Based Plastic Design Methodology. In this method the performance objectives are defined in the design
from the very start itself, here the performance criteria are expressed in terms of target drift and yield mechanism.
