10.1002/tal.290.abs
This paper introduces a new approach to the structural design of buildings. The approach involves in‐depth and sophisticated structural engineering analyses that provide reliable estimates of building performance during future severe winds and earthquakes. Credible scenarios of future severe winds and earthquakes are considered, and analyses are performed to calculate the expected monetary damage to the structural system and the building contents during the building's life. In addition, the lateral force resisting system is designed with the expectation that it will be modified to satisfy future requirements. The resulting living building is one with a structural system that satisfies current minimum code design criteria, meets the designers' original vision, and provides the owner with an optimized structure that continues to fulfill his or her needs well into the future.
