Requirements for performance-based design of buildings Conference Paper

abstract

• A relatively new and significant trend in earthquake engineering is design based on performance criteria. This approach has the potential to be a significant improvement over current practice. In this paper, we look at the evolution of performance-based seismic design, the basic requirements to satisfactorily carry it out, present procedures and their limitations, and the research and development efforts needed to make it a reality.
