"With conventional force-based seismic design, the most important information for the structural \nengineer has been the effective peak ground acceleration. This number is comparatively \ninsignificant in displacement-based or performance-based seismic design, where the key data are \npeak spectral response displacement, and the “corner” period at which this occurs. There appears \nto be a disagreement between seismologists on opposite sides of the Atlantic about these data, \nwhich the structural engineer views with concern, since ductile structural response will often be in \nthis region of the corner period. Dependable information on the reduction of displacement \nresponse with damping or ductility is also needed for design approaches utilizing secant stiffness \ncharacterization. Other areas needing clarification include the issue of how to develop \naccelerograms for time-history analysis compatible with the design seismicity using an acceptably \nsmall number of accelerograms, and how to reconcile the statistical nature of seismicity \ncharacterization with the structural engineer’s preference for deterministic analysis. There is some \nevidence that a consequence of this is invalid averaging of response characteristics by structural \nengineers."^^ . "2006-09" . . . . . . . . "Nigel"^^ . "Priestley"^^ .
