“…Probabilistic performance-based methods have been extensively developed in the field of earthquake engineering (Cornell and Krawinkler, 2000;Porter, 2003) and have already been used to develop modern seismic design codes (ATC, 1997(ATC, , 2005. 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).…”

Other hazards including fire and blasting were also taken into account in the multiple hazard framework (Fujikura and Bruneau, 2012;Petrini and Palmeri, 2012;Potra and Simiu, 2009;Rini and Lamont, 2008). Analysis and design for these hazard loads have been developed individually because each one requires different expertises and knowledges to formulate the "demand" or "capacity" for bridge design.…”

Article history: Available online xxx Keywords: Bridge Reliability assessment Multiple hazards Load Resistance a b s t r a c t The strength limit state of American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO) Load and Resistance Factor Design (LRFD) Bridge Design Specifications is developed based on the failure probabilities of the combination of non-extreme loads.The proposed design limit state equation (DLSE) has been fully calibrated for dead load and live load by using the reliability-based approach. On the other hand, most of DLSEs in other limit states, including the extreme events Ⅰ and Ⅱ, have not been developed and calibrated though taking certain probability-based concepts into account. This paper presents an assessment procedure of highway bridge reliabilities under the limit state of extreme event Ⅰ, i. e., the combination of dead load, live load and earthquake load. A force-based approach and a displacement-based approach are proposed and implemented on a set of nine simplified bridge models. Results show that the displacement-based approach comes up with more convergent and accurate reliabilities for selected models, which can be applied to other hazards. © 2015 Periodical Offices of Chang'an University.

“…The concept of performance based engineering therefore allows a broad spectrum of design solutions to be developed for different problems and evaluated based upon their individual merits by allowing a quantification of the impact -either in terms of qualitative or quantitative 'risk' -of an event. An example of performance based design applied to structural fire engineering is provided in [3].…”

a b s t r a c tThe Pacific Earthquake Engineering Research (PEER) Center's Performance Based Earthquake Engineering (PBEE) framework is well documented. The framework is a linear methodology which is based upon obtaining in turn output from each of the following analyses: hazard analysis; structural analysis; loss analysis, and finally decision making based on variables of interest, such as downtime or cost to repair. The strength of the framework is in its linearity, its clear flexibility and in the consideration of uncertainty at every stage of the analysis. The framework has potential applications to other forms of extreme loading; however in order for this to be achieved the 'mapping' of the framework to the analysis of structures for other loading situations must be successful. This paper illustrates one such 'mapping' of the framework for Performance Based Fire Engineering (PBFE) of structures. Using a combination of simple analytical techniques and codified methods as well as random sampling techniques to develop a range of response records, the PEER framework is followed to illustrate its application to structural fire engineering. The end result is a successful application of the earthquake framework to fire which highlights both the assumptions which are inherent in the performance based design framework as well as subjects of future research which will allow more confidence in the design of structures for fire using performance based techniques.This article describes the PEER framework applied to structural earthquake design then follows the framework from start to completion applying suitable alternative tools to perform each stage of the analysis for structures in fire.
