Abstract
Structural engineering for earthquake resistance is undergoing a major revision in its approach toward the fulfillment of seismic safety and utilitarian serviceability in design. Rather than sticking to the established precepts of prescriptive design rules, design has turned toward the achievement of specific results through procedures that are tailored for different buildings and uses. These procedures represent notable research contributions, but they are complicated conceptually for implementation in structural engineering practice, and nonlinear building response estimates, frequently assumed to be performance, can vary within broad limits even for simple applications.
In this text we relate the history of code developments. We focus on the two main requirements of earthquake-resistant design of building structures: (1) Life Safety and (2) Protection of the Investment and relate the two demands to current concepts of Performance-Based Building Design. While we provide a personalized vision for the way in which the PBSD framework developed and matured during the last half century, a thorough historiography is not within the scope of the text. We nominate drift to serve as the prime metric for performance judgment.

Wilson (2000) observes that structural engineering must contend with many poorly known or estimated parameters in its pursuit of creating structures that serve communities in some way.
