“basic” one. This is because the seismic demands are 1.5 times larger in the lat-
ter performance objective, while the m-factor of the RC columns is 1.25 times
larger in the IO performance level compared to that for the LS. For other struc-
tural members, the increase in the seismic demands and the capacity are both 1.5
times. In this strategy, the shear wall in the South-East corner should be
