The Design of Performance-Based Seismic Analysis of Main Power Plant of the Conventional Island

The performance-based design is a new development trend of seismic design. It is a breakthrough of the seismic design procedures. Based on the existing performance design method and some documents provided performance objective, computing and seismic structural measures, the performance-based seismic design is applied to the special structure of conventional island of the nuclear power plant. The performance-based seismic design is proved to be feasible according to a practical engineering case, as well the performance-based seismic design is needed to be further improved.
