6. CONCLUSIONSDifferent sets <strong>of</strong> drift limits associated with various damage levels were defined formoment resisting frames (ductile, nonductile, with infills), flexural structural wallsand squat shear walls. The defined performance levels were based on experimentaldata, field observations and measurements and theoretical analyses. At least two mainsets <strong>of</strong> drift limits can be identified to represent various damage levels for the design<strong>of</strong> ductile systems and the assessment <strong>of</strong> the seismic resistance <strong>of</strong> nonductile ones.Currently available drift limits were found to be conservative for ductilestructures and nonconservative for nonductile structures.Realistic drift calculations should be made using reduced gross inertia due to thecracked section properties.The proposed drift limits representing various performance objectives <strong>of</strong> thestructure can be further refined as additional test and analysis data are included.REFERENCESChiou, Y-J., J-C.
