Abstract The Artificial Intelligence (AI) methodologies and techniques have been used to
solve a wide spectrum of engineering problems in Architectural, Engineering and …

Abstract Intensity Measures (IMs) play a crucial role in assessing the performance of
structures. The central question is how to find an IM that represents the destructive power of …

Performance-based plastic design (PBPD) is a method which considers the inelastic
behavior of a structure for the seismic design that follows a pattern in which a pre-selected …

Abstract The Performance-Based Plastic Design method (PBPD), developed on the energy
concept, has been frequently used in technical literature as a performance-based design …

Safe design of the structure in earthquake increases the ability to absorb and dissipate
energy by the bracing system. Also, one of the new methods to reduce earthquakes is the …

This study offers a comprehensive review of Performance-Based Plastic Design (PBPD)
under various dynamic loads, including seismic, blast, fire, and impact, with a focus on how …

Performance-based plastic design (PBPD) was initially proposed as a method for retrofitting
existing structures. The PBPD method gradually became a general approach for designing …

Performance-based plastic design (PBPD) method has been proposed to design single bay
planar frames for twenty years. For a dual steel system, such as an eccentrically braced …

The aim of this study is to develop a performance-based seismic design method targeting a
desirable collapse fragility curve. This direct fragility-based design method is developed and …

Purpose Brief introduction on the importance and the need for plastic analysis methods were
presented in the beginning section of this review. The plastic method for analysis was …
