Abstract
Performance-based design has been widely accepted as a new alternative design method for the
design and rehabilitation of new and existing buildings in the past decades. However, some codes
and design guidelines do not allow this method to be implemented. One of the examples is the
Egyptian code of practice (ECP). This article implements procedures of performance-based design in
the framework of seismic design and performance evaluation with comparison to the ECP. Three
case studies are evaluated; two structures of 10 and 20 story reinforced concrete moment frame
residential building and one case of 40-story dual system residential building presented to introduce
the higher mode effects in tall buildings. All models have been designed according to the ECP
provisions. Capacity design approach using the performance-based plastic design by selecting target
drift and a predetermined yielding mechanism is employed in the study for the moment frame
structures. Nonlinear structural modeling has been adopted to better simulate the structural seismic
response and assist to acquire the best performance assessment. All case studies have been evaluated
using pushover and nonlinear time history analysis. The study results were evaluated using the
ASCE 41 guidelines and presented to demonstrate the capabilities of implementing nonlinear
modeling and performance-based design procedures to perform seismic design with better reliability
and cost-efficiency compared to the traditional code practice.
