What is Performance-Based Design for Braced Frames about?

This document discusses a method for determining force reduction factors (R) and displacement amplification factors (Cd) for use in performance-based design of braced frames (BFs). The method introduces two sets of R and Cd factors corresponding to moderate and major earthquake hazard levels associated with immediate occupancy and life safety performance objectives. The factors depend on ductility, force reduction due to ductility, and overstrength. The paper presents the procedure for calculating R and Cd
