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 …

Ultimate Limit State Response of Reinforced Concrete Columns for Use in Performance-Based Analysis and Design
… are established using a rigorous computational analysis, and a limit analysis is used to derive simplified design and analysis equations. The derived buckling models are incorporated into wellestablished sectional analysis routines to predict full member behavior, and the application of these …

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, …
