Use of probabilistic methods in evaluating blast performance of structures
… behavior of the structure. Similar to the use of performance-based engineering for seismic events, the effects on a structure designed for blast loading should not be speculative but rather should exhibit expected behavior which is appropriate for the parameters of the given blast. Accounting for …

A data-driven framework to support resilient and sustainable early design
… most likely, miss high-performing alternatives. Performance-based engineering (PBE) is a probabilistic approach to quantify buildings performance against natural hazards in terms of decision metrics such as repair cost and functionality loss. Therefore, PBE can remarkably improve early design by …

Performance-Based Coastal Engineering Framework
… to climate change. Thus, effective planning of engineering projects and resilience strategies in coastal regions must not only address current conditions but also take into consideration the expected changes in the exposure and multi-hazard risk in these areas. Performance-based engineering …

Application of visco-hyperelastic devices in structural response control
Structural engineering has progressed from design for life safety limit states to performance based engineering, in which energy dissipation systems in structural frameworks assume prime importance. A visco-hyperelastic device is a completely new type of passive energy dissipation system that not …

Vulnerability assessment of extended end-plate connections under mainshock-aftershock sequences
… approaches being a basic requirement for performance-based engineering. This study included two overarching goals. The first goal was to utilize mechanistic models for assessment of behavior of end-plate connections under mainshock-aftershock sequences. The second goal was to employ the …

Computational Modeling of Glass Curtain Wall Systems to Support Fragility Curve Development
With the increased push towards performance-based engineering (PBE) design, there is a need to understand and design more resilient building envelopes when subjected to natural hazards. Since architectural glass curtain walls (CW) have become a popular façade type, it is important to understand how …

Determining seismic response of mid-rise building frames considering dynamic soil-structure interaction
… bedrock is very close to the ground surface. Based on the fact that seismic waves pass through kilometres of bedrock and usually less than 100 meters of soil, soil layers play a significant role in assigning the characteristics of the ground surface movement. When the ground is stiff enough, …
