6.3 Verification of Seismic Performance Level 1 for Earthquake Ground<br />

Motion<br />

6.3.1 General<br />

In verifying Seismic Performance Level 1 the seismic coefficient method considering<br />

dynamic structural characteristics in elastic range shall be used according to the<br />

provisions specified in Section 6.3.4. In this process, the sectional force and<br />

deformation in each member shall be calculated, when subjected to the loads specified<br />

in Section 6.2 and the inertia force specified in Section 6.3.2.<br />

6.3.2 Calculation Method of Inertia Force<br />

Inertia force shall be defined as the lateral force equal to the product of the weight of a<br />

structure and the design horizontal seismic coefficient specified in Section 6.3.3, and be<br />

considered acting on the structure in the direction of the inertia force of a design<br />

vibration unit. However, in the case of a movable bearing support between the<br />

superstructure and the substructure, static frictional force of the bearing support shall<br />

be applied to the substructure, rather than the inertia force of the superstructure.<br />
