Buildings, bridges and other civil infrastructure facilities are designed by current codes and standards using provisions that invariably are prescriptive in nature. While facilities so designed usually possess adequate levels of safety under design-basis events, other environmental or man-made events may cause them to suffer damage or loss of function, leading to economic losses, with uncertain impacts on the building occupants, owners and the community that they serve. The new paradigm of performance-based engineering enables structural engineers to achieve more reliable and informative prediction of civil infrastructure behavior and control of performance across a range of hazards. When supported by a risk-informed decision framework founded on structural reliability principles, performance-based engineering provides stakeholders with a structured framework for thinking about performance objectives, uncertainty, and how public safety and socio-economic well-being may be threatened by the failure of civil infrastructure to perform under a spectrum of hazards.
