Listen "CEA - A Discussion on Performance-Based Designs with Mark Oakeson"

Episode Synopsis

All structural engineers know the endless codes they have to adhere to. These are all standardized values that vary depending on the material being used, building type, construction method, etc. But what if you could base your design only on the performance you want your structure to have when experiencing different events?
What You’ll Learn:

A Brief History of Codes and Standards in Civil Engineering
What is Performance-Based Design?—And How Did it Get Started?
What are the Four Levels of Performance-Based Design?
Risk Categories in Structural Design—And What Differs One from the Other
Is Performance-Based Design Applied to Other Industries?
Software Tools that Accommodate Performance-Based Analysis and Design
The Biggest Benefit of The Performance-Based Approach to Structural Design
Is it an Approach Worth Using in Every Single Project You Work on?
The Downsides of the Performance-Based Approach You Should be Aware of
The #1 Thing All Performance-Based Designs Require Before Being Approved
