Abstract
Performance-based design is the development current of seismic design of the 21th century. Two important aspects of alleviating earthquake disaster are seismic design of new structures and seismic evaluation as well as the retrofit design of existing structures. The methods of performance-based design are reviewed in this paper. The actuality and existent problems are analyzed and that performance-based design is applied to seismic evaluation and retrofit design.
