        "abstract": "A general framework for multi-criteria optimal design is presented which is well suited for performance-based design of structural systems operating in an uncertain dynamic environment.  A decision theoretic approach is used which is based on aggregation of preference functions for the multiple, possibly conflicting, design criteria.  This allows the designer to trade off these criteria in a controlled manner during the optimization.  Reliability-based design criteria are used to maintain user-specified levels of structural safety by properly taking into account the uncertainties in the modeling and seismic loads that a structure may experience during its lifetime.  Code-based requirements are also easily incorporated into this optimal design process.  The methodology is demonstrated with a simple example involving the design of a three-story steel-frame building for which the ground motion uncertainty is characterized by a probabilistic response spectrum which is developed from available attenuation formulas and seismic hazard models.",
