Moving beyond prescriptive \"one-size-fits-all\" compliance, the book frames seismic design as an explicit trade-off problem in which safety, functionality, downtime, repair cost, and sustainability targets must be satisfied simultaneously under uncertainty. It consolidates foundational concepts and current practice, and then advances toward implementation pathways that connect hazard characterization, structural response assessment, damage and loss modelling, and stakeholder-informed performance objectives within a coherent PBEE-MOO workflow.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book integrates technical methods with practice-facing considerations, including regulatory frameworks, governance and policy instruments, socio-economic consequences, and community resilience. It also surveys emerging computational capabilities, including advanced simulation and data-driven tools, and demonstrates their role in accelerating design-space exploration and improving transparency in decision-making. Case-based discussions across multiple structural systems illustrate how optimization can support defensible choices for new design, retrofit prioritization, and lifecycle resilience planning in earthquake-prone regions.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book targets structural and earthquake engineers, seismic risk analysts, and engineering researchers who seek to advance beyond traditional code-based design approaches by implementing sophisticated multi-objective optimization methods for performance-based earthquake engineering in both academic research and professional practice.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Ali Akbar Firoozi,Ali Asghar Firoozi\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1041200234\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781041200239\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e CRC Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/21\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 206\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.88lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 10.00h x 7.00w x 0.48d","brand":"Ali Akbar Firoozi","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48997485248767,"sku":"9781041200239","price":70.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/engineering-the-future-ali-akbar-firoozi-9781041200239","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
