In FEMA 273/356, the intersection of the median capacity (pushover) andmedian demand (hazard) curves is termed a performance point. Such a point,although instructive, provides no information on the impact of uncertainty andrandomness on the capacity and demand calculations and by extension on the buildingperformance. Reinhorn extended the concept of 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 of 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 of each of 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 of demands onNCCs, performance points adjacent to the origin are preferable to those points remotefrom the origin. On the basis of the chosen metrics, the performance of the buildingsequipped with supplemental fluid viscous dampers or seismic isolation bearings issuperior to that of 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.

Figure 8 presents one possible form of the performance space, in which onlyground motion variability has been considered. Herein, the performance space is abox defined by the 16th and 84th percentile maximum drift and zero-period flooracceleration responses. An optimal performance space should be small in size(indicating small variability in displacement and acceleration responses) and locatedclose to the origin.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 (%)M3M6M7M8M9M10M11M12M13M14M15Figure 8. Performance spaces for 10/50 earthquake histories.On the basis of the data presented in Figure 8, the performance of the isolatedbuildings is superior to that of the other buildings in terms of smaller displacementand acceleration demands on NCCs. Of the remaining traditional and protectedlateral-force-resisting systems, the buildings equipped with fluid viscous dampers(M8 and M9) outperform the remaining 3 buildings (M3, M6 and M7).For many acceleration-sensitive NCCs, peak floor acceleration alone is aninefficient predictor of damage: an observation made years ago by engineers taskedwith designing mechanical systems in nuclear power plants. Better estimates of thevulnerability of acceleration-sensitive NCCs can be developed through the use offloor (in-structure) acceleration spectra. Median 5% damped median flooracceleration spectra for the 2nd floor (A2) and 4th floor (A4) of the 11 models for the10/50 earthquake histories are presented in Figures 9a and 9b. The stiff and strongmoment frame building (M3) and the building equipped with BRBs (M7) produce thehighest spectral acceleration demands across a frequency range from 1 Hz to 100 Hz.The smallest acceleration demands are associated with the viscous damped framesA5A4A3A2A1ID4ID3ID2ID1122
