instance, T 1 is 1.8 sec., the [S a (T 1 )/g]/γ value from Figure 6(b) is 5.4 (for δ c /δ y = 4),and, using the site specific k value <strong>of</strong> 2.4 for the T = 1.8 sec. hazard curve, λ Sa (η C )becomes 0.000126, the S a value for this MAF is 1.4g, and the base shear strengthparameter γ becomes 1.4/5.4 = 0.26.4. CONCLUSIONSConceptual PBD implies a decision process that leads to the selection <strong>of</strong> one orseveral effective design alternatives based on performance targets for acceptablelosses and a tolerable probability <strong>of</strong> collapse. In this context, two challenges have tobe addressed. One is to develop data on EDP limits associated with these performancetargets. The other is to select structural systems that efficiently accommodate theseEDP limits. This necessitates the development <strong>of</strong> MDOF “design decision aids” thatfacilitate the design decision process, or <strong>of</strong> global criteria that can be translated intostrength and stiffness requirements. This paper proposes a process to accomplisheffective PBD and illustrates how these two challenges can be met.ACKNOWLEDGEMENTSThis research was carried out as part <strong>of</strong> a comprehensive effort at Stanford's John A.Blume Earthquake Engineering Center to develop basic concepts for PBEE andsupporting data on seismic demands and capacities.
