Jack P. Moehle: Performance-Based Earthquake Engineering: A Chronicle in Five Easy Pieces
Tuesday, July 2nd MiCo Auditorium
Abstract:
Performance-based earthquake engineering is a powerful tool for earthquake engineering assessment and design. As an assessment tool, it aims to quantify performance using useful metrics for decision-makers. As a design tool, it aims to achieve specified outcomes rather than adherence to particular technologies or prescribed means. The specified outcomes could be performance metrics useful to engineers (e.g., strain, rotation, damage) or other decision-makers (e.g., casualties, repair costs, functional recovery time), expressed as a function of risk over time, risk given a specified shaking intensity, or risk given a scenario earthquake. This monograph describes the development of performance-based earthquake engineering of structures based on the author's personal experiences. It begins with an origin in displacement-based design. It includes topics such as seismic evaluation and retrofitting of buildings, the development of probabilistic expressions of risk of loss, applications to new building designs, and the consideration of repair of earthquake-shaken buildings and repairability design.
Bio:
Jack P. Moehle is a Professor of the Graduate School in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at the University of California, Berkeley, where he has worked since 1980. He graduated with civil and structural engineering degrees from the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign in 1980. He was the founding director of the Pacific Earthquake Engineering Research (PEER) Center, where he served from 1997-2008. He has played a leading role in the development of building codes and professional engineering guidelines for the design of new construction and the assessment and rehabilitation of seismically vulnerable existing construction, including Guidelines for Seismic Rehabilitation of Buildings (FEMA 273); Next-Generation Performance-Based Seismic Design Procedures (FEMA P-58); and Performance-Based Seismic Design of Tall Buildings (PEER). In addition to his academic work, he is a sought-after consultant on Engineering projects including high-rise buildings, existing vulnerable building construction, and civil infrastructure, bringing his expertise to real-world applications. He has authored or co-authored over 400 publications, including a book on Seismic Design of Reinforced Concrete Buildings (2014). His notable honors include election to the US National Academy of Engineering (2014), election as International Member of the Academy of Engineering of Mexico (2016), George W. Housner Medal (EERI, 2020), and Honorary Member of ACI, EERI, and SEAONC.
