Performance-Based Structural Design (PBSD) is an innovative engineering approach that focuses on optimizing a structure's real-world performance under various conditions, including earthquakes, wind, and heavy loads. Unlike traditional design methods that rely on prescribed safety factors, Performance-Based Structural Design prioritizes actual performance outcomes, utilizing advanced simulations, risk assessment models, and dynamic testing. This methodology allows engineers to create safer, more efficient, and cost-effective structures that are adaptable to changing environmental conditions and usage patterns. By focusing on the performance of a structure in real-world scenarios, Performance-Based Structural Design ensures greater resilience, durability, and sustainability in modern infrastructure.
