Abstract
A Displacement-Based Design (DBD) methodology for steel frame-RC wall structures has
been proposed. The effectiveness of the methodology in limiting lateral displacements has
been tested by designing a set of case studies. Their structural performance was investigated
through nonlinear time-history analyses by using seven spectrum-compatible accelerograms.
For the seismic intensity and modelling assumptions considered in this work, it is found that
the proposed design methodology controls the lateral displacements of the buildings well.
Keywords: displacement based design, steel frame-RC wall buildings, drift, displacement,
time-history analyses
