Performance Based Seismic Design is considered the most realistic method for understanding the seismic behaviour of structures. The most recent design codes implicitly use this concept to create a safe design for new structures and a reliable evaluation of existing ones.

In this Open Class, we will use non-linear analysis models to explain the theory and application of this method. A real example will be used to explain how this method is applied in the seismic evaluation and retrofitting of the structure of an existing factory.

The speaker

Bashar Alfarah. A structural engineer with a master's degree and doctorate in seismic engineering and structural dynamics. Doctor Bashar has more than 12 years of professional and academic experience, in which he has been responsible for or involved in the design and seismic evaluation of several projects located in medium and high level seismic areas.
