Abstract
This paper reviews the traditional force-based seismic design method and the newly proposed performance-based design philosophy. A practical method based on performance-based design for target displacement and displacement ductility is presented, and a displacement-based design procedure for SDOF and MDOF bridges is proposed, which can be incorporated into a performance-based design philosophy.
