Building Performance Target of the Building

  • According to TBDY 2018 Table 3.4, new steel buildings for DD-2 earthquake ground motion level should be analysed with Strength Based Design approach for Life Safety Performance Target.

  • In TBDY 2018, Life Safety Performance Level and Strength Design is applied for the DD-2 earthquake level, regardless of the buildings' BYS. It is the first stage of design in high-rise buildings, while it is used for final design in other buildings.

  • As can be seen in the image above, Life safety performans level and Strength Design approach is chosen for the DD-2 earthquake level for this building. Other options disabled by the program because other sections should not be selected.
