Two of the conventional designs stem from the literature, and they represent 2003 IBC compatible solutions. Another employs the yield point spectra to deliver a code-like solution, satisfying the design norms without needing iterations. The final two are based on the yield frequency spectra to offer a design that can satisfy more detailed performance objectives in a single step. Overall, all five methods are shown to deliver what is expected. Conventional methods can safely capture the code requirements, yet they are disadvantaged when treading in beyond-life-safety territory, where Immediate Occupancy or Collapse Prevention objectives cannot be easily satisfied, a problem that is not shared by performance-based approaches.}, organization = {Open access funding provided by HEAL-Link Greece}, organization = {Hellenic Foundation for Research and Innovation (H.F.R.I.) under the “2nd Call for H.F.R.I.
