A probabilistic hazard-based approach can be utilized in conjunction with new seismic engineering procedures, to formulate risk-consistent multi-hazard performance-based engineering criteria.

Such a design methodology would achieve higher reliability and more predictable performance in structures subjected to high winds and earthquakes
