Abstract
Development background of PBSD (Performance-Based Seismic Design) is stated. The advantages of PBSD are discussed and it is compared with traditional code-based design. Major issues in PBSD such as performance objectives and acceptance criteria are elaborated. Two development trends of PBSD, probabilistic performance objectives and next-generation PBSD which adopts novel performance measurements, are introduced.
