Study on performance-based seismic design theory

Abstract

There are many other names for performance-based design, such as "performance based", "performance evaluation", "performance explicit standards"and "performance-based standards". The so-called "performance-based"refers to the performance specified in the specification or the performance proposed in the specification. When designing the design method, the specification only specifies the target performance, and leaves the checking method to the designer. In other words, performance-based design is a technology to set reliable performance goals and achieve them through reasonable structural analysis methods.
