book introduction
Performance-based seismic design was first introduced in the "Building Structure Code" (KBC 2016) in 2016, and the related regulations were revised in 2019 with the enactment of the "Building Seismic Design Code." The "Performance-based Seismic Design Guidelines for Apartment Complexes" of the Architectural Institute of Korea were developed by the Korea Building Standards Center of the Architectural Institute of Korea with the support of the Korea Land and Housing Corporation for the main purpose of designing high-rise apartment complexes, and were enacted in 2015. Revised editions were published in 2017 and 2019, respectively, in accordance with the revision of related standards.
Currently, performance-based seismic design is being expanded to not only high-rise apartment complexes but also many high-rise, large, and irregularly shaped buildings to ensure seismic safety, and its scope of application is gradually expanding to various reinforced concrete building structures. Accordingly, the existing "Performance-based Seismic Design Guidelines for Apartment Complexes" was reorganized into the "Performance-based Seismic Design Guidelines for Reinforced Concrete Building Structures" so that it can be expanded to general reinforced concrete building structures, and published in 2021. After that, a revised edition was published in 2025 to reflect the latest research results and practical needs.
The major revisions to this guideline include improvements to the allowable compressive strain of transversely confined concrete, the slab diaphragm modeling method, the beam-column joint model, the wall shear strength and shear model, and the connecting beam model. Reflecting the opinions of the academic and practical circles on the conservativeness and accuracy of the existing model, it was revised into a more precise nonlinear evaluation model based on domestic and international experimental results and theoretical research.
