Earthquake Resistant Limit State Design is a design method based on a balance of input energy by the earthquake and energy absorption capacity of building structures. In this lecture, the basic theory of design method based on a balance of the energy and the evaluation method of earthquake resistant performance of the building structures based on the deformation capacity of members are explained.
