Table 8. What do you expect in the performance-based seismic design?What do you expect in the performance-based seismic design? Choose 2maximum from below.Number andpercentage(1) Make design rational by appropriately choosing the performance 81 (40.5%)criteria depending on bridges(2) Determine the design force appropriately depending on the site 33 (16.5%)condition(3) Use the most favorable analytical models and tools 2(1%)(4) Want to propose new structural type not yet ever constructed 18 (9%)(5) Eliminate unnecessary sections and members to have well balanced16 (8%)bridges(6) Introduce probabilistic concept in the determination <strong>of</strong> design force, 25 (12.5%)analysis and evaluation(7) Want to declare the copy right <strong>of</strong> design and construction 4 (2%)(8) Other 4 (2%)(9) No answer 17 (8.5%)Total 200 (100%)Table 9. Use <strong>of</strong> dynamic response analysis in performance-based designHow do you want to use dynamic response analysis in the performancebasedseismic design?Number andpercentage(1) Want to use dynamic response analysis more extensively, because28 (28%)input data for pushover analysis are the same with the input data fordynamic response analysis. Furthermore, pushover analysis isinconvenient because it cannot be used for some types <strong>of</strong> bridges withpredominant higher modes, while dynamic response analysis can be usedto all bridges regardless <strong>of</strong> the types.(2) Want to use dynamic response analysis more extensively for bridges46 (46%)to which pushover analysis provides poor application. Want to usepushover analysis for bridges to which the equivalent static analysisprovides good application.(3) Current level <strong>of</strong> balance between pushover analysis and dynamic9 (9%)response analysis is appropriate(4) Want to use pushover analysis more, because dynamic response9 (9%)analysis is inconvenient for determination <strong>of</strong> sections(5) Others 8 (8%)(6) No answer 0Total 100 (100%)after the Kobe earthquake is one <strong>of</strong> the reasons why limited expectation was directedto this goal.Table 9 shows how the engineers regard dynamic response analysis comparedto pushover analysis. A majority opinion is that they intend to “use dynamic responseanalysis more extensively for bridges to which pushover analysis provides poorapplication. They intend to use pushover analysis for bridges for which the equivalent86
