Comparative study of 5, 10 and 15 storied steel Concentrically Braced Frames (CBF) designed by Performance Based Plastic Design (PBPD) method and Force Based Design (FBD) method is presented here. The parameters selected for comparison of the frames are (a) Lateral load distribution (b) Design sections of members (c) Seismic performance and (d) Cost. It is observed that the lateral load's distribution in case of PBPD frames is found more factual. The column sections of PBPD frames are heavier, and brace sections are lighter compared to FBD frames given the fact that PBPD is designed for higher ductility factor. The PBPD method gives a better seismic performance by achieving the predetermined failure mechanism and avoiding total collapse. Taller structures offer cost-effectiveness for PBPD method.

The performance in terms of interstorey drift ratios and failure pattern of ordinary moment resisting frames designed by performance-based plastic design (PBPD) method and limit state design method have been compared in this paper. For this, different study frames were designed using the force based limit state design method and displacement-based performance-based plastic design method. The PBPD frames were designed taking ductility ratio two. Results of static pushover and time history analysis prove the superiority of the PBPD method when compared in terms of interstorey drift ratio and failure pattern.
