3. Methodology
There are three steps used in this study. First, the building is modelled and designed
according to prescriptive code of ASCE 7-16 and ACI 318 using linear elastic response
spectrum analysis in ETABS 2016 software as preliminary design. The design result then
remodeled and designed according to PEER TBI Guidelines for PBD of Tall Building using
nonlinear time-history analysis in Perform-3D 7 software. The NLTHA analysis will be done in
50-years return period of Service Level Earthquake (SLE) and 2,475 years return period of
Risk-targeted Maximum Considered Earthquake (MCER).
where FE, FP, and FS represent period-dependent functions for source (event), path, and site
effects, respectively. The predictor variables are M, mech, RJB, and VS30 which are moment
magnitude, distance (closest distance to the surface projection of the fault plane), site
parameter VS30, and fault type.
𝑅 = √𝑅𝐽𝐵 2 + ℎ2
and c1, c2, c3, Δc3, Mref, Rref and h are model coefficients (see appendix). Parameter Δc3 is
region-dependent.
The site function is given by:
𝐹𝑆 (𝑉𝑆30 , 𝑀, 𝑚𝑒𝑐ℎ, 𝑅𝐽𝐵 ) = ln(𝐹𝑙𝑖𝑛 ) + ln(𝐹𝑛𝑙 )
where Flin represents the linear component of site amplification and Fnl represents the
nonlinear component of site amplification. The linear component of the site model (Flin)
describes the scaling of ground motion with VS30 for linear soil response conditions (i.e., small
strains) as follows:
𝑉𝑆30
𝑐 ln ( ) 𝑉𝑆30 ≤ 𝑉𝐶
𝑉𝑟𝑒𝑓
ln(𝐹𝑙𝑖𝑛 ) =
𝑉𝐶
𝑐 ln ( ) 𝑉𝑆30 > 𝑉𝐶
{ 𝑉𝑟𝑒𝑓
where Vref represents a reference velocity where the amplification is zero (in ln units), Vc is a
limiting velocity beyond which there is no further VS30 -scaling, and c represents the level of
VS30-scaling for VS30 < Vc (see appendix). The function for the Fnl term is as follows:
𝑃𝐺𝐴𝑟 + 𝑓3
ln(𝐹𝑛𝑙 ) = 𝑓1 + 𝑓2 ln ( )
𝑓3
where f1, f2, and f3 are model coefficients (see appendix) and PGAr is obtained by evaluating
ln Sa(T1) equation for the given M, mech, and RJB with VS30 = 760 m/s. Parameter f2 represents
the degree of nonlinearity for the vertical-component and is formulated as:
𝑓2 = 𝑓4 [exp{𝑓5 (min(𝑉𝑆30 , 760) − 360)} − exp{𝑓5 (760 − 360)}]
where f4 and f5 are model coefficients (see appendix).
The total standard deviation σ is partitioned into components that represent between-event
variability ( τ ) and within-event variability ( φ ) as follows:
By using above equations, the median ln Sa(T1) and standard deviation σ for this study (for
MCER) is shown in Figure 8 below.

From accelerograms above, none of those has duration more than 100 seconds. But
some (no. 47 and 64) have peak ground acceleration less than 0.1g which very small and need
to be eliminated before go to the next step.
6. Ground Motion Matching
In this study, the method for ground motion scaling uses selective manipulation of
accelerogram approach developed by Abrahamson (1993, 2006, 2010). The method adds
wave packages to those parts of the time-series for those frequencies for which there is a
mismatch between the record and target spectrum. The original wavelet function developed
by Lilhanand and Tseng (1987, 1988)is:
Tapered cosine wavelet is then introduced to the scaling method by Hancock (2006):
The tapered cosine wavelet which has flaw on the endless function in the end of period is
then improved further by Atik and Abrahamson (2010):
Pseudospectral acceleration adjustment is also added to the method for better scaling result:
The original software developed for this method is RspMatch, and then adopted by
many other softwares including SeismoMatch (2018) and ETABS (2016). SeismoMatch is used
in this study for ground motion scaling. Step by step procedure of scaling the selected ground
motions using SeismoMatch software is as follows:
1) Input the original accelerograms
3) Define the range of period in which the matching will be performed. In this study, the
period range of spectral matching is defined in between 0.2T 1 – 3T1 where T1 is 1.14 s.
Figure 19. Defining Range of Period of Spectral Matching, 0.2T1 – 3T1, in Seismo Match.
The saved output file can then be used for non-linear time-history structural analysis.
The comparison between original and matched accelerograms is shown in Figure 18, and the
comparison between mean of matched response spectrums and CMS is shown in Figure 19.
It can be seen that although the response spectra is matched very well to the target CMS
along the defined matching period, the remaining period of some matched accelerograms
(no. 47 and 65) are distorted too much and not well neutralized to zero acceleration, thus
one of them can be eliminated to achieve 7 ground motions. Since using too many same
earthquake should be avoided, record 65 (San Fernando 1971 – Gormon Oso Pump Plant) is
eliminated.

The scaling factor for earthquake load is defined following these equations:
Approximate fundamental period (ASCE 7-16 12.8.2.1):
Ct : 0.0488
x : 0.75
building height hn : 125 m
upper limit Cd : 1.4
approximate fund. period Ta = Cthnx = 1.791 s
max approx fund. period T = CdTa = 2.507 s
Seismic response coefficient (ASCE 7-16 12.1.1):
CS = SDS / (R / Ie) = 0.2310
CS max = SD1 / (T x (R / Ie)) = 0.0950
CS min1 = 0.044SDSIe = 0.0610 ≥ 0.01
CS min2 = 0.5S1/(R/Ie) = 0.0793 (for S1 ≥ 0.6 g)
So, CS used is : 0.0793
Scaling factor = CS x g = 777.33

The slab is modelled with equivalent width slab-beam following ATC-72 provision. The
effective width, shown in Figure 34 and Table 6 of the slab-beam is calculated using following
formula:
𝑏𝑒𝑓𝑓 = 𝛽 ∙ (5 ∙ 𝑐1 + 0.25 ∙ 𝑙1 )

(dashed blue) value.
In lieu of the use of laboratory test data, it shall be permissible to use the acceptance criteria
for Immediate Occupancy performance as contained in ASCE 41.
However, in this study, building has been designed according to elastic response
spectrum analysis in DBE level which is stronger load than SLE level, and the elements has
been designed to accommodate all loads within elastic capacity which is lower than
Immediate Occupancy performance requirement. Thus, component acceptance evaluation
in SLE level is not critical and not considered in this study.

Figure 38. Peak coupling beam rotation(MCER) of every earthquake (grey) with its mean (solid blue) and
maximum (dashed blue) value.
The coupling beam rotation can be seen in Figure 38 and Table 8-9. The coupling beam
rotation enters plastic deformation (above 0.005 radians) but meets FEMA 356 collapse
prevention limit of 0.020 rad almost in all earthquake, except one that exceed the limit with
rotation of 0.0203 rad. This can be reminder that the design should be improved, but can be
exception since the average rotation value of 0.0149 is far from the limit.
The deformation of shear wall is measured only in first floor since plastic behavior is
expected to be occurred only in there, the strain result is shown in Table 9. Minimum strain
(compression) result shows that there is concrete in certain earthquake with strain value up
to -0.00372, while the average compression strain is -0.00258. Because deformation is
measured in extreme point of confined concrete, although this maximum value exceed the -
0.003 ultimate strain of normal (unconfined) concrete, this maximum value still lies within
confined concrete capacity which the ultimate strain is up to -0.008. On the other hand, the
average and maximum tension strain of core wall is 0.00527 and 0.00915 respectively. These
value shows that rebar has exceed steel yield strain (0.002) but still far from still ultimate
strain value which is up to 0.1.
10. Conclusion
This study shows step by step of Performance Based Design procedures on 40-story
building example using PEER TBI Guidelines for PBD of Tall Buildings 2017, including
conditional mean target spectrum calculation, ground motion selection and matching,
prescriptive code based design on 495 years return period Design Based Earthquake (DBE)
level using linear response spectrum analysis for preliminary design, and nonlinear time
history analysis on 50 years return period Service Level Earthquake (SLE) and 2,475 years
return period Risk-targeted Maximum Considered Earthquake (MCER) level.
For this 40-story wall-slab-column frame structure study case, the results show that
the building design meets all requirements in both prescriptive code as well as PBD provisions.
The analysis shows that all calculated story drifts in all earthquake levels lie within limits. In
MCER level, coupling beams and 1st story core wall’s rebar have enter plastic deformation but
still inside acceptance level, while 1st story core wall’s compression strain are still within
confined concrete ultimate capacity.
