Description:	“Performance-based earthquake engineering” in particular tries to maximize the utility from the use of a facility by minimising its expected total cost, including the short-term cost of the work and the expected value of the loss in future earthquakes (in terms of casualties, cost of repair or replacement, disruption of use, etc.). Ideally we should take into account all possible future seismic events with their annual probability of occurrence and carry out a convolution with the corresponding consequences during the design working life of the facility. However, this is not so practical. Therefore, at present “performance-based earthquake engineering” advocates replacing the traditional single-tier design against collapse and its prescriptive rules, with a transparent multi-tier seismic design, meeting several discrete “performance levels”, each one under a different seismic event with its own annual probability of exceedance.
