DESCRIPTION:Major earthquakes have resulted in huge economic and human los
 s. In many cases these damages could have been avoided if the original des
 ign had correctly identified the geohazards at the site and incorporated t
 he philosophy of performance based design. In this talk several examples w
 ill be presented where the different stages of risk assessment will be ide
 ntified and possible solutions incorporated in the final design. This talk
  will also highlight some gaps in existing knowledge where more research i
 s needed.\n\n
