“…The proposed framework is very similar in concept to other frameworks that have been recently formalised for evaluating the risk of structures exposed to different natural and manmade scenarios including blast, fire, tsunami and wind scenarios [23]- [25]. The main aim of these methodologies is to provide a general procedure for the evaluation of the performance of structural systems in terms of decision variables (DVs) such as risk of collapse, fatalities, repair costs, and loss of function, while accounting for all the possible sources of uncertainty that characterise the problem at hand.…”

“…The consequences, C, quantify the loss of functionality which constitutes the initial condition needed for integration in Equation 4. As a starting point, a riskbased integration based on the total probability theorem is constructed, similar to that used by several stochastic performance-based approaches (Barbato, Petrini, Unnikrishnan &, 2013;FEMA, 2012), to calculate the likely magnitude of the consequences based on the topology, geometry, and hazards:…”

This paper proposes a framework for establishing quantitative measures and mathematically reproducible definitions of structural resiliency as it pertains to a structure's ability to minimize the potential for undesirable response to low-probability-high-consequence events. The resiliency assessment and design process follow a logical progression of steps starting with the characterization of hazards and continuing through analysis simulations, damage modeling, and loss assessment by balancing functional relationships between design tradeoffs and associated consequences. The outcomes of each subprocess are articulated through a series of generalized variables: topology, geometry, damage, and hazard intensity measures. A rigorous probabilistic framework permits consistent characterization of the inherent uncertainties throughout the process. The proposed framework is well suited to support the building design process through stochastic characterization of assessment measures. Using a stepwise approach, the framework facilitates a systemwide method to confront multihazard threat scenarios by establishing functional relationships between the development of appropriate models, design methods, damage acceptance criteria, and tools necessary for implementation. The proposed methodology can be implemented directly for assessment of project-specific performance criteria or can be used as a basis for establishing appropriate performance criteria and provisions to achieve resilient structural solutions at the outset of design.

“…In particular, they are crucial ingredients of the performancebased hurricane engineering (PBHE) framework that was recently proposed in Barbato et al (2013). This framework accounts for the effects on structural performance of the different hazard sources (i.e., strong winds, windborne debris, flooding, and rain) that are related to hurricane landfalls.…”

“…Similar methodologies, which are based on a PBE approach, have been advancing also in other civil engineering subfields including wind engineering, fire engineering, and blast engineering (Hamburger and Whittaker, 2003;Augusti and Ciampoli, 2006;Li and Ellingwood, 2006;Rini and Lamont, 2008;Ciampoli et al, 2011). Recently, a performance-based hurricane engineering (PBHE) framework has been proposed to extend PBE to the analysis and design of structures subject to hurricane hazard (Barbato et al, 2013).…”
