✦ Synopsis

Everybody talks about it, but nobody does anything about it,' the witticism that refers to the weather, until recently applied equally well to performance-based seismic design, which is the primary subject of this volume of proceedings of a workshop held in Slovenia 24-27 June 1997. Practicing structural engineers have increasingly adopted the philosophy of performancebased seismic design over the last decade, and now they are in search of quantitative methods with which to implement it.
