1 Framework for Performance-Based Earthquake Engineering Helmut Krawinkler, Stanford U. PEER Summative Meeting June 13, 2007

2 Where were we 10 years ago? SEAOC Vision 2000, FEMA 273, ATC-40 Descriptive performance levels (IO, LS, CP, etc.) Associated with specific hazard levels Performance Objectives Qualitative (and a few quantitative) damage measures Limited consideration of uncertainties Implementation in terms of FORCES and DEFORMATIONS Earthquake Performance Level Fully Operational Operational Life Safe Near Collapse Earthquake Design Level Frequent (43 year) Occasional (72 year) Rare (475 year) Very Rare (970 year) Basic Objective Essential/Hazardous Objective Safety Critical Objective Unacceptable Performance (for New Construction)

3 Measures of Performance - PBEE Forces and deformation? Yes, but only for engineering calculations Intermediate variables Not for communication with clients and community Communication in terms of the three D s: Dollars (direct economic loss) Downtime (loss of operation/occupancy) Death (injuries, fatalities, collapse) Quantification Losses for a given shaking intensity Losses for a specific scenario (M & R) Annualized losses With or without rigorous consideration of uncertainties

4 Vision of PBEE Joe s Beer! Food! 1. Complete simulation 2. Defined performance objectives Quantifiable performance targets Annual probabilities of achieving them 3. Informed owners Joe s Beer! Food! Joe s Beer! Food! Sources: G. Deierlein, R. Hamburger

6 Performance-Based Methodology Bldgs. Measures of Performance Collapse & Casualties Direct Financial Loss Downtime Decision Decision Variable Variable Damage Damage Measure Measure drift as an EDP Engineering Engineering Demand Demand Parameter Parameter Intensity Intensity Measure Measure

7 Performance-Based Methodology Engineering Engineering Demand Demand Parameter Parameter Intensity Intensity Measure Measure Mean Annual Freq. of Exceedance, λ Sa MEAN SPECTRAL ACC. HAZARD CURVE -- T = 1.8 sec. Van Nuys, CA, Horizontal Component Spectral Acceleration S a (g) Medina & Krawinkler

8 Incremental Dynamic Analysis IM (e.g., S a (T 1 )) Individual records Median 84% IM Hazard curve (annual freq. of exceedance) EDP (e.g., max. interstory drift) λ EDP [ EDP y IM = x] dλ (x) ( y) = P IM

9 Performance-Based Methodology Decision Decision Variable Variable Performance Assessment types (ATC-58 definitions): Intensity-based: Scenario-based: Time-based: Prob. facility perf., given intensity of ground motion Prob. facility perf., given a specific earthquake scenario Prob. facility perf. In a specific period of time Damage Damage Measure Measure Damage Fragility Curves: P(DM>dm EDP) Drywall Partitions with Metal Frame + Cost Functions: P($>x DM) Drywall partitions Mean Loss Curve: E[Loss EDP] Drywall Partitions with Metal Frame DM 1 DM 2 DM EDP (IDR) Tape, Paste & Repaint Replacement of gypsum boards Partition replacement Cost of Repair / Cost New EDP (IDR) Aslani & Miranda Engineering Engineering Demand Demand Parameter Parameter Intensity Intensity Measure Measure Mean Annual Freq. of Exceedance, λ Sa MEAN SPECTRAL ACC. HAZARD CURVE -- T = 1.8 sec. Van Nuys, CA, Horizontal Component Spectral Acceleration S a (g) Medina & Krawinkler

18 Concluding Remarks Performance based engineering is here to stay It enforces a transparent design/assessment approach Much more emphasis must be placed on $ losses and loss of function (downtime) Performance based design should be reliability based We have a long road ahead of us
