Development of a basic specific design code on performance based specification concept: The Technical Standards for Prot and Harbor Facilities (2007)
There have been movements in Japan to develop a serious of comprehensive structural design codes that can harmonize all the major Japanese structural design codes.This movement is much motivated by the rapid development and popularisation of international and regional structural design codes such as ISO2394 and Structural Eurocodes,as well as of the performance based specification concept especially after the conclusion of WTO/TBT agreement in 1995.In proposing such efforts,it is much contemplated to propose a concept that can harmonize all the major Japanese structural design codes that have been developed rather separated way due to many historical reasons. The performance based specification (PBS)(or the performance based design (PBD))and the limit state design (LSD)are the two concepts we introduced to achieve this aim.Principles for Foundation Designs Grounded on a Performance-based Design Concept (nick name ‘Geo-code 21) by JGS (Japanese Geotechnical Society)and code PLATFORM ver.1by JSCE (Japan Society of Civil Engineers)are proposed along this line.In April 2007,the new version of the Technical Standards for Port and Harbour Facilities (TSPHF)has been published.This is one of the major Japanese civil structural design codes.In the new version of TSPHF,the performance based specification concept and the reliability based design method are the two major concepts of the revision.This paper reports the background and the process of this revision in connection with the previously published code PLATFORM ver.1 and Geo-code 21.
