In FEMA 273/356, the intersection <strong>of</strong> the median capacity (pushover) andmedian demand (hazard) curves is termed a performance point. Such a point,although instructive, provides no information on the impact <strong>of</strong> uncertainty andrandomness on the capacity and demand calculations and by extension on the buildingperformance. Reinhorn extended the concept <strong>of</strong> the performance point to aperformance space, to account for both uncertainty and randomness in a rigorousmanner. Figure 7 presents performance points using median maximum drift (ID*) andmedian peak floor acceleration (A*) as the performance metrics; ID* and A* aredefined in the figure. Alternate groupings <strong>of</strong> ID* and A* (e.g., A2/ID1) might bemore appropriate for nonstructural components such as suspended ceiling systems. (InFigure 7a, the median peak 1st floor acceleration <strong>of</strong> each <strong>of</strong> the non-isolated models isequal to the median peak ground acceleration. In the isolated models, the 1st flooracceleration is measured above the isolation interface.) In terms <strong>of</strong> demands onNCCs, performance points adjacent to the origin are preferable to those points remotefrom the origin. On the basis <strong>of</strong> the chosen metrics, the performance <strong>of</strong> the buildingsequipped with supplemental fluid viscous dampers or seismic isolation bearings issuperior to that <strong>of</strong> the traditional moment-frame buildings or the building equippedwith BRBs.Interstory drift (%)3.53.02.521.510.500 .3 .6 .9 1.2 1.5Floor acceleration (g)3.53.02.521.510.500 .3 .6 .9 1.2 1.5Floor acceleration (g)a. 1st floor (A1), 1st story (ID1) b. 2nd floor (A2), 2nd story (ID2)Interstory drift (%)3.53.02.521.510.500 .3 .6 .9 1.2 1.5Floor acceleration (g)c. 4th floor (A4), 4th story (ID4)Interstory drift (%)M3M6M7M8M9M10M11M12M13M14M15A5A4A3A2A1Figure 7.
