Predictions for the ratio of wall moment at mid-height to base moment, and dynamic
amplification factor for base shear force are compared with values obtained in the ITHA for
different elastic periods and ductility levels in Fig.9.
Similar simplified capacity-design equations are presented for different structural systems.

SEISMIC INPUT FOR DDBD

As is apparent from Fig.1(d), the displacement response spectrum is used rather than an
acceleration spectrum to determine the required base shear strength. It is possible to
generate the displacement spectrum from existing acceleration response spectra, assuming
steady-state sinusoidal response, but this assumption becomes increasingly inaccurate at
long periods. It should be noted that this inaccuracy has been cited as a criticism of
displacement-based design, since DDBD uses the effective period at maximum
displacement response, which is approximately √ times the elastic period used for force-
based design, where response is presumably better known. This criticism does not stand up
to scrutiny, however, since the elastically designed structure will respond inelastically with
the same period as used for design of an equivalent DDBD structure, and hence any
uncertainty in the long period response data will be reflected in inaccuracies in the
displacement-equivalence rule (such as equal-displacement) used to relate elastic to
inelastic displacements in force-based design.
Recently considerable research attention has been focused by seismologists on improving
the accuracy of displacement design spectra. The approach tentatively adopted in Priestley
et al (2007) is developed from recent work by Faccioli et al (2004), who analysed a large
