3 Focus Steady progress in software and hardware allows high fidelity, detailed performance assessment (simulations) of critical (and other) infrastructure systems (bridges, dams, buildings, ports...) Interplay of Earthquake Soil Structure systems seems to play a major role in catastrophic failures (and successes) Quantify uncertainty and variablity in soil and structural behavior Provide methodology (formulation, implementation) for probabilistic performance based engineering (PEER type) Overcome traditional performance assessment approaches used in engineering practice (design using prescriptive code!)
