Performance Based Earthquake Engineering Enabled by Advances in Structural Simulation

Course description

This intensive 1 day course organized by UCL in collaboration with Stanford University and University of California, Davis, and co-badged by SECED, offers an overview of the Performance Based Earthquake Engineering (PBEE) framework. PBEE has developed from a conceptual framework to a workable set of procedures that enable relating quantitative measures of earthquake hazard to system performance metrics. The key components of this methodology include: Probabilistic Seismic Hazard Analysis, Structural Analysis, Damage Assessment and Performance Calculation. This course will provide an overview of these key components to enable the implementation of PBEE.
