Features: This book systematically introduces the concept, theory, and methods of performance-based seismic design, establishes a framework for performance-based seismic optimization design of structures, and focuses on the author's many years of research achievements. These mainly include the establishment of optimization design models based on the investment-effectiveness criterion, performance-based target reliability optimization decision-making, disaster-resistant seismic design of structures, and integrated optimization design of base isolation structures. The book also covers reliability analysis of structures and optimization design algorithms based on reliability, as well as secondary development of ANSYS software and its application in practical engineering. This book can be used as a reference for scientific researchers, engineering technicians, graduate students, and teachers and undergraduate students in civil engineering, engineering mechanics, and other related fields.
