Intro to Geotechnical Science
Performance-based design is an approach in engineering that focuses on achieving specific performance objectives for structures, especially during extreme events like earthquakes or landslides. This methodology shifts the focus from traditional code compliance to understanding and predicting how structures will behave under various conditions, ensuring that they meet safety, functionality, and sustainability criteria during both normal and extreme circumstances.
congrats on reading the definition of Performance-Based Design. now let's actually learn it.
