Comparison of Approaches
Comparison of maximum inelastic DBE response
displacements (M) determined using the UBC approach
of scaling up the elastically determined design level
response displacements (S) to the corresponding
maximum inelastic response displacements determined
directly by non-linear analysis indicates that the linear
approaches (options 1 thru 5) yield relatively
conservative displacements when compared to the more
accurate non-linearly determined inelastic
displacements.
It is felt, hence, that in the case of the St. Regis Museum
Tower project, there would have been reasonable
justification for the use of effective stiffness properties
based on the approach of option 5, which employs a
rational method based on the use of actual maximum
design level response moments to estimate effective
member stiffness

Conclusion
In drift controlled high-rise structures with lateral
systems that include shear walls, seismic displacements
are highly sensitive to effective stiffness property
assumptions made, particularly for the walls. A number
of relatively simple recommendations contained in codes
and references, often inconsistent, yield relatively
conservative results, causing structures to require
needless amounts of costly stiffening.
Economy can be effected by performing non-linear
analyses on these buildings to minimize the amount of
conservatism, but these analyses can be very complex,
time consuming and expensive to perform.
A simpler, rational, elastic approach for estimating
effective section properties as described in this paper
(option 5) can be judiciously used to more accurately
estimate displacements and drifts, reducing overconservatism and therefore permitting the design of
more efficient, better optimized and less expensive
structures.
