From page 29...
... 29 Demand Displacement: The peak displacement profile of the structure based on seismic analysis for a given ground motion level. Full Ductility Design: A design criteria that allows for full inelastic behavior in selected members without reference to a targeted damage level, and generally based on simple elasto-plastic material behavior (See reference (2)
From page 30...
... 30 Seismic Design of Non-Conventional Bridges Repairable Damage: A damage level to components of the bridge where ductile elements experience considerable damage that is limited to a level that can be repaired in order to place the bridge back into normal service. Repairable damage levels may require short-term closures of the bridge.
