A second performance-based design objective is to apply HCI resources to optimize the resources the user needs to perform the appHcation task. Many of the objects, actions, and information with which the user interacts are appHcation-task-specific. Organization and representation decisions should be based on these task-specific requirements. For example, if the appHcation task involves drawing, the user needs general software and hardware drawing tools and devices.

In the European Union, the current code that relates to fire safety in the design and construction of buildings is Eurocode 1 - actions on stractures part 1.2 actions on structures exposed to fire [23]. This code was first released in 1990. Two forms of design fires are considered within the code normative and parametric. The normative design fire is used in the prescriptive portion of the code and refers to the time-temperature curves provided by the ISO 834 standard. The parametric portion of the code provides a performance-based design approach. Rather than using standard time-temperature curves, reahstic fire scenarios can be considered using a choice of simple or advanced fire models [7j. 

In the performance-based design and operation of modem engineered systems, the accurate assessment of reliability is of paramount importance, particularly for civd, nuclear, aerospace and chemical systems and plants which are safety-critical and must be designed and operated within a risk-informed approach (Pata-lano et ah, 2008). 

Based on limited observations made above, it appears that approximate Incremental Response Spectrum Analysis (IRSA) procedure, which is the natural extension of the traditional Response Spectrum Analysis (RSA), proves to be a reliable analysis tool for deformation-based seismic assessment and design of bridges in the general framework of performance-based design.

Performance-Based Design in earthquake engineering (SEAOC Vision 2000 1995, FEMA 273 1997) implies taking into account structural and ground motion uncertainties in order to obtain structural design parameters, satisfying multiple performance criteria with associated minimum reliability levels and (as an option) at a minimum total cost. 

The application of performance-based design within earthquake engineering requires the consideration of all the uncertainties associated with the structure and the ground motion, and that each of the performance requirements be met with specified minimum reliabilities.

As the name implies, performance-based design is a type of design meant to achieve specified level of performance. It is different from one-size-fits-all basis of perspective type of approach. A typical performance-based FGS has been shown in Fig. Vll/3.3-1. It is not that performance-hased systems prescribe any specific solutions, instead it is meant to demonstrate that the proposed design meets the design objective.
