I have recently graduated and joined a structural design firm, so kindly guide me, considering me a beginner.

Secondly, it would be great if someone can recommend me a book or some good source to understand how to characterize building using performance levels. Any input concerning assignment of hinges to beams, columns and shear walls is highly appreciated. I would like to know what would be a better estimate for relative distances for plastic hinges in case of beams, columns. While assigning plastic hinges, I have an option of using ASCE 41-17 (Seismic Evaluation and Retrofit of Existing buildings". I will be using ETABS 2017 for performing Pushover Analysis. Until now, I have decided to go with "Displacement Co-efficient method". I'll be performing "Non-Linear Static Pushover Analysis" for my model.

I am interested in performing "Performance Based Design" for a 20 story building.
