Abstract
Modern building structures are designed and expected to satisfy various performance objectives under multi-hazard environments with increasing risk, leading to the so-called “performance-based engineering”. In the design of this new generation of civil structures, engineers are facing the challenge of striving for the most efficient and economical design solution while ensuring that the final design must be serviceable for its intended function, habitable for its occupants and safe over its design life-time under multi-hazard environments.
