TY - JOUR PY - 2004// TI - Making choices about earthquake performance JO - Natural hazards review A1 - May, Peter J. SP - 64 EP - 70 VL - 5 IS - 2 N2 - Performance-based earthquake engineering has gained prominence as an approach that allows facility owners or other relevant decision makers to select earthquake performance objectives for engineered structures. Refinement of this approach confronts the challenge of translating the needs of a diverse set of organizations into meaningful objectives. This challenge is addressed by reviewing the implications of relevant social science literature about different ways of framing individual and organizational choices about earthquake performance.
