MENDOZA PEREZ, Mabel  and  AYALA MILIAN, A. Gustavo. Procedimiento de evaluación de edificios de concreto reforzado basado en desempeño: desarrollo y validación. Ing. sísm [online]. 2013, n.88, pp.23-41. ISSN 0185-092X.

This paper presents a seismic performance evaluation method for reinforced concrete buildings, based on concepts of performance-based engineering; the validity of the capacity curve as a property of the structural system; and on the consideration the energy dissipation due to hysteresis, included in the method by equivalent damping ratios on simplified degree of freedom system. The method allows in a direct way the performance evaluation of structures subjected to demands of increasing intensities since this leads to the capacity curve of a structure that approximates satisfactorily the capacity curve that derived from incremental dynamic analyses.

Keywords : evaluation; performance; capacity curve; damping.
