Performance Based Analysis of Steel Buildings
This project investigated the performance of two separate building types, designed using ASCE 7-05, using the analysis procedures from ASCE 41-06. The results from the ASCE 41-06 analyses were compared to the expected performance level of Life Safety to determine the adequacy of the ASCE 7-05 …

Performance-Based Analysis of Steel Buildings: Special Concentric Braced Frame
The performance-based analysis methods and evaluation criteria in ASCE 41-06 were used to evaluate a special concentric braced frame building based on the design standards in ASCE 7-05. A rectangular, six-story office building was evaluated using linear static, linear dynamic, nonlinear static, and …

A performance-based approach to retrofitting unreinforced masonry structures for seismic loads
… Federal Emergency Management Agency published a performance-based design code - FEMA 356 - in 2000 to use for analyzing and retrofitting existing structures. This code includes procedures for URM buildings. This paper applies these performance-based analysis procedures to a URM shear wall and …

Structural steel framing options for mid- and high rise buildings
… structural system evaluation are strength based. The demand for cheaper, more efficient and taller structures has paved the way for performance based design. A simple cantilever beam performance based analysis was utilized to evaluate three common structural framing schemes in order to gain …

Exploring performance-oriented analysis through an examination of title character's two arias in Carlisle Floyd's "Susannah"
This thesis adapts a model of performance-based analysis and utilizes it to interpret the title role in Carlisle Floyd's opera, Susannah (1955). Using John Rink's model as a guide, this performance-oriented analysis reveals the relationships between the musical and textual elements within the role, …
