Performance-based seismic design framework has provided various procedures to assessed the performance of structures exposed to seismic loads. Based on the structural and non-structural components’ degree of damage, these approaches have recognized different building performance levels. The analytical compatibility of these approaches depends upon a number of parameters includes modeling of structural members, location of plastic hinges, applied lateral load patterns, effects of damping and vibration’s natural period. The performance-based seismic evaluation processes described in the performance-based seismic design framework are thoroughly examined in this paper. These methods are compared for group of seventy-five reinforced concrete frames representing low, medium and high-rise structures design as per the guidelines of Indian seismic codes. Performances of these example moment-resisting frames are compared and parametric studies of engineering demand parameters are carried out. The possible gray areas for integration of performance evaluation and assessment have been put forth
