&P&Performance-based Earthquake Engineeringhas 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 inPerformance-based Earthquake Engineering, but also Europe is a major contributor. Two Workshops onPerformance-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 inPerformance-based Earthquake Engineeringfrom North America, Europe and the Pacific rim (Japan, New Zealand, Taiwan, China). It covers the entire scope ofPerformance-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.&/P& | Advances in Performance-Based Earthquake Engineering by Michael N.
