PERFORMANCE-BASED EARTHQUAKE ENGINEERING WITH THE FIRST-ORDER RELIABILITY METHOD
I take this opportunity to thank, first and foremost, my advisor, Dr.Terje Haukaas. I am grateful for his confidence in my potential, generosity with his time, and continuous encouragement to improve my research abilities. It has been a privilege to be his student and be a part of his research vision. I would not have come this far without his support in all my endeavours.
Also, I express gratitude towards my supervisory committee members, Dr.Elwood, Dr.Foschi, and Dr.Sexsmith for their unwavering support throughout my doctoral studies. I am grateful for the exposure to their vast and varied expertise through the reliability seminars. Special thanks to Dr.Ventura for lending structural drawings of an existing high-rise building in Vancouver. The funding provided by National Science and Engineering Research Council (NSERC) through Canada Graduate Scholarship is gratefully acknowledged.
I would like to thank my fellow graduate students, in particular, Babak, Jose, Kate, Soheil, Martin, Hugon, Freddy, and Armin, for sharing my journey through the graduate studies. I cannot forget to mention Vignesh, Kari, and Chris for the graduate life outside research. Finally, this work would be impossible without the strength and courage of my mother, who encouraged me to pursue Civil Engineering, my sister, and the patience of my husband through the long years of my graduate studies.
