Performance-based Earthquake Engineering has emerged before the
turn of the century as the most important development in the field
of Earthquake Engineering during the last three decades. It has
since then started penetrating codes and standards on seismic
assessment and retrofitting and making headway towards seismic
design standards for new structures as well. The US have been a
leader in Performance-based Earthquake Engineering, but also Europe
is a major contributor. Two Workshops on Performance-based
Earthquake Engineering, held in Bled (Slovenia) in 1997 and 2004
are considered as milestones. The ACES Workshop in Corfu (Greece)
of July 2009 builds on them, attracting as contributors
world-leaders in Performance-based Earthquake Engineering from
North America, Europe and the Pacific rim (Japan, New Zealand,
Taiwan, China). It covers the entire scope of Performance-based
Earthquake Engineering: Ground motions for performance-based
earthquake engineering; Methodologies for Performance-based seismic
design and retrofitting; Implementation of Performance-based
seismic design and retrofitting; and Advanced seismic testing for
performance-based earthquake engineering.
Audience: This volume will be of interest to scientists and
advanced practitioners in structural earthquake engineering,
geotechnical earthquake engineering, engineering seismology, and
experimental dynamics.
