Whats different about them?
High-performance materials and systems Framing systems not satisfying code prescriptions
undefined systems defined systems beyond permitted height limits

104.11 Alternative materials, design and methods of construction and equipment. The provisions of this code are not intended to prevent the installation of any material or to prohibit any design or method of construction not specifically prescribed by this code, provided that any such alternative has been approved. An alternative material, design or method of construction shall be approved where the building official finds that the proposed design is satisfactory and complies with the intent of the provisions of this code, and that the material, method or work offered is, for the purpose intended, at least the equivalent of that prescribed by this code in quality, strength, effectiveness, fire resistance, durability and safety.

Seismic Design Criteria


Earlier approach
Satisfy all code requirements, with limited exceptions Code enhancements
explicit capacity design performance verification using nonlinear analysis detailing enhancements

More recent approach


Establish performance objectives explicit capacity design as appropriate performance verification by nonlinear dynamic analysis detail as required to ensure performance

Given 40 tall buildings in a city. Very rare earthquake. What do you think of this performance scenario?

(b) Summary of results

a design philosophy
in rare earthquake ground shaking
there should be no more than a 50% chance that demands will exceed capacities for ductile failure modes, and the chance of experiencing a nonductile failure mode should be less.
