Assessing seismic risks for new and existing buildings using performance-based earthquake engineering (PBEE) methodology - Seismic Risk Analysis and Management of Civil Infrastructure Systems - page 325

illustrates how the performance-based assessment procedure can be used
to rationalize the design approaches and to achieve a higher performance
measure, such as lower lifetime maintenance cost for new and existing
structural systems. The presented methodology can be easily expanded to
consider other performance measures such as down-time and casualty rate,
which can be used to make an informed risk management decision.
12.5 Acknowledgments
The author would like to acknowledge the contribution from Professor Jack
Moehle (University of California, Berkeley), Professor Bozidar Stojadi-
novic (ETH, Zurich), and Professor Armen Der Kiureghian (University of
California, Berkeley) for the development of the PBEE methodology pre-
sented herein. The building designs were carried out by Magnusson Klemen-
cic Associates. PERFORM-3D analysis software was donated by Computers
and Structures Incorporated. The fragility data used for the performance
assessment were obtained through collaborative research with the research-
ers within the Tall Building Initiative project funded by the Pacifi c Earth-
quake Engineering Research Center and the Applied Technology Council
ATC-58 project.
