OCTOBER 2010

SPA Principal Keith Porter delivered a report presenting a 2nd-generation performance-based earthquake engineering (PBEE-2) approach to estimating the time to restore a critical facility to functionality after an earthquake. The method begins at the completion of the PBEE-2 damage analysis, takes as input the damage state of all critical components, and uses a fault tree to assess post-earthquake operability.
