PEER Performance-Based Earthquake Engineering Methodology, Revisited

A performance-based earthquake engineering (PBEE) methodology was developed at the Pacific Earthquake Engineering Research (PEER) Center. The method is based on explicit determination of performance, e.g., monetary losses, in a probabilistic manner where uncertainties in earthquake ground motion, structural response, damage, and losses are explicitly considered. There is an increasing trend towards use of probabilistic performance-based design (PPBD) methods in practice. Therefore, the International Federation for Structural Concrete (fib) initiated a task group to disseminate PPBD methods. This article is a contribution to this task group summarizing and demonstrating the PEER PBEE methodology in a useful manner to practicing engineers.
