Review of Seismic Resistance Design Methods

Moreover, due to recent technological changes as well the ever – increasing damage of seismic events globally occurring around modern structures demanded much more needful approaches in advancing methods for designing resistance against seismic effects. Highlighting performance-based design, capacity design and seismic isolation techniques, this paper delineates the progression of methodology deployed for designing structures against earthquake actions. It highlights the findings of 20 papers in related academic areas, following novel methods and strategies which have made steel structures earthquake-proof today. In this review, we summarize some of the limitations and deficiencies in existing methodologies with an aim to pave a path for improved approaches on design strategies related to seismic resistance.
