Synopsis

Performance-Based Seismic Design (PBSD) frameworks aim to develop infrastructure that not only resists earthquake forces but also ensures quick functionality recovery post-event. This paper outlines the theoretical foundation, implementation challenges, and potential innovations in PBSD for resilient development. The framework emphasizes risk-informed decision-making, multilevel performance targets, and resilience metrics. With increasing urbanization and seismic threats, the adoption of PBSD is essential to mitigate infrastructure failures and economic disruptions.
