Performance-Based Seismic Engineering (PBSE) is a methodology that encompasses all the activities necessary to create new buildings or upgrade of existing buildings, in order to predict their response and determine probable consequences to seismic movements. It consists of the determination of appropriate systems, configuration, dimensioning, detailing, construction and maintenance of structural and non-structural components of buildings.
Under the PBSE concept, the acceptability of various levels of damage is associated with the consequences they generate and the frequency with which they may occur.
Some of the applications of this methodology:
Under the PBSE concept, the acceptability of various levels of damage is associated with the consequences they generate and the frequency with which they may occur.
Some of the applications of this methodology:
- Improve the minimum seismic performance specified in the design codes.
- Demonstrate equivalence with the codes in systems not stipulated in them.
- Incorporation of passive systems to control the seismic response.
- Determine if a building has an acceptable level of seismic risk (safety, cost of repair, interruption of use).
- To carry out economic feasibility studies in seismic retrofit projects.
- Determine if taking out insurance is a profitable risk management measure.
