A guide to Performance Based Design & Forensic Structural Engineering
Nowadays, there are several engineering services available that structural engineers are using for better engineering. Few of them are Performance Based Design & Forensic Structural Engineering. Let’s know about them more. - Performance Based Design Basically, the performance-based seismic design offers engineers the ability to design buildings that have a predictable and reliable performance in disasters such as earthquakes. Hence we can say that the Performance-based seismic design is a method that permits the design of new buildings or upgrades of existing buildings with a realistic understanding of the risk of life, occupancy, and economic loss that may occur as a consequence of future earthquakes. If compared to conventional code-prescribed design approaches, the Performance Based Design (PBD) is a rational approach to the design of a new building or evaluation of an existin...
