Table 3: Summarizing table of pros and cons of dissipative and non-dissipative approach for ARSW design.

Elastic Approach for design (q=1.0) Dissipative Approach for design (q=2.0)
Pros Easier prescription to be respected Lighter structure (9.28 tons)
Easier construction details
Cons Heavier structure (10,47 tons) Complexity for the variety of construction details
Higher actions and requested resistance Not full satisfaction of capacity design requirements
