Effectiveness of simple approaches in mitigating residual deformations in buildings.

Developments in performance-based seismic design and assessment approaches have emphasized the importance of considering residual deformations. Recent investigations have also led to a proposed direct displacement-based design (DDBD) approach which includes an explicit consideration of the expected...
