TLDR
In this article, the displacement-oriented approach is applied to design of slab-column systems in regions of high seismicity, where a portion of the structural frame is designed to resist the total seismic design force while a substantial remainder of the structure is proportioned assuming it resists only gravity loads.Abstract:
Design algorithms expressed in current building codes and practiced in design offices focus attention on earthquake induced lateral forces, and away from earthquake induced lateral displacements. These procedures have led to development of structural systems in which a portion of the structural frame is designed to resist the total seismic design force while a substantial remainder of the structure is proportioned assuming it resists only gravity loads. This approach is commonly applied to design of slab-column systems in regions of high seismicity. For such systems, a displacement-oriented approach has advantages. Applications of the approach are described.read more

Hysteretic behavior of exterior post-tensioned flat plate connections
TL;DR: In this paper, the hysteretic behavior of exterior post-tensioned flat plate slab-column connections (PT connections) designed to resist only gravity loads was evaluated using three approximately two-thirds-scale test specimens; two exterior PT connection specimens having different tendon layouts and one exterior reinforced concrete flat plate column connection (RC connection) specimen.

Cyclic behaviour of interior post-tensioned flat plate connections
TL;DR: In this paper, cyclic tests of four interior post-tensioned flat plate slab-column connections were conducted to investigate the effect of the level of gravity shear and the slab tendon arrangement on the cyclic behavior of the PT connections.

Shaking table tests of a reinforced concrete waffle–flat plate structure designed following modern codes: seismic performance and damage evaluation
TL;DR: In this article, a scaled reinforced concrete waffle-flat plate structure was subjected to a sequence of four seismic simulations of increasing magnitude, each simulation was associated with a seismic hazard level characterized by the mean return period PR.
