This package awards 7 PDHs and contains the following courses:
Why Use Performance Based Design and How to Apply Performance Based Design Principles
This session introduces the core principles of Performance-Based Design (PBD) and provides an overview of the overall PBD process. It will cover key topics such as performance targets, hazards and loading, target reliability, acceptance criteria, and high-level examples. Attendees will gain a clear understanding of the “why” and “how” behind PBD to prepare them for subsequent hazard-specific sessions.
Exploring Performance Based Wind Design Principles
This session provides an introduction to Performance-Based Wind Design (PBWD), highlighting state-of-the-art wind engineering and structural analysis methods used to evaluate building performance. It reviews key procedures from the SEI Pre-standard, including performance objectives, wind demand characterization, modeling, analysis, and acceptance criteria for MWFRS. A real-world case study from Austin, TX will illustrate the application of PBWD in practice.
Why, When and How to Leverage Performance-Based Structural Fire Design through ASCE 7, Appendix E
This session introduces Performance-Based Structural Fire Design (PBSFD) and explains how it can improve safety, economy, flexibility, and aesthetics compared to traditional prescriptive approaches. It will cover the key procedures in ASCE 7-22 Appendix E for assessing fire effects on structures and highlight when and why PBSFD is beneficial. Design examples and real-world applications will demonstrate how structural engineers can effectively leverage these provisions.
Introduction to Performance-Based Seismic Design
This session introduces the principles of Performance-Based Seismic Design (PBSD), a state-of-the-art approach that enables innovative designs while meeting building code intent. It provides an overview of the PBSD process, including performance targets, seismic hazards, target reliability, acceptance criteria, and methods to meet those criteria. High-level examples and discussion of peer review will help attendees understand how PBSD is applied in practice.
