Acknowledgments

The ASCE Committee on Performance-Based Engineering of Constructed Systems was established on the basis of a suggestion of Donald Dusenberry. A. Emin Aktan served as the founding chair. Bruce R. Ellingwood, as a leading expert in structural reliability and performance-based design, provided a critical review of the report and made significant contributions. The Committee on Performance-Based Engineering of Constructed Systems merged with the Performance of Full Scale Structures Committee in 2004, and Brian Kehoe was appointed as the chair of the latter committee. Qin Pan, a graduate student at Drexel University, formatted and reviewed the report.
Membership (2003) of the ASCE Committee on Performance-Based Engineering of Constructed Systems: E. Aktan, H. Aktan, S. Alampalli, S. Arzoumanides, B. Brenner, N. Catbas, K. Chong, P. Das, D. Frangopol, A. Haldar, M. Feng, L. Hanagan, A. Kareem, M. Motavalli, J. Khinda, S. Chase, I. Smith, L. Sheng, M. Shinozuka, B. Yanev, and H. Wenzel.
