Performance-based Design as a Decision Strategy for Risk Reduction
نویسندگان
چکیده
It is now generally accepted that several types of “risks” can be recognized for built facilities and environments: they are not limited to collapses and heavy damages but involve comfort and way of life (cf. e.g. Augusti et al., 2003). The most rational way of tackling such risks and their reduction is Performance-based Design PBD (or, better, Performance-based Engineering). This lecture will present and discuss briefly the general approach to PBD, and illustrate some examples of application.

A Monte Carlo-Based Search Strategy for Dimensionality Reduction in Performance Tuning Parameters
Redundant and irrelevant features in high dimensional data increase the complexity in underlying mathematical models. It is necessary to conduct pre-processing steps that search for the most relevant features in order to reduce the dimensionality of the data. This study made use of a meta-heuristic search approach which uses lightweight random simulations to balance between the exploitation of ...
