Achieving the performance targets that constitute the essence of earthquake and structural engineering requires a distinct engineering approach in the design of high-rise and multi-story buildings with high seismicity, unconventional geometries and dimensions, special functionality, and the need to maintain functionality after a disaster. Performance-based design is a structural analysis approach that is increasingly popular among both engineers and investors as it meets this requirement.

At Arkhe Structural Design, we ensure design safety by utilizing advanced engineering methods such as nonlinear time history analysis, single and multi-mode pushover analysis, and staged construction analysis in accordance with the defined performance targets.

Nonlinear time history analysis involves considering the nonlinear behavior of the structure and analyzing its response to a series of ground motion records. Single and multi-mode pushover analysis assesses the capacity of the structure by applying lateral loads incrementally and analyzing its response at each step. Staged construction analysis considers the construction phases and evaluates the structural behavior under different stages of construction.

By employing these advanced engineering methods, we strive to achieve the desired performance objectives and ensure the structural safety of buildings in line with the principles of earthquake and structural engineering.
