Abstract
A system of performance-based design was introduced to the new technical standard for port and harbor facilities, revised in April 2007. The new standard allows greater flexibility of design while requires more advanced technical knowledge to designers. As an example, a high seismic resistant quay wall at Yokohama Port is designed in conformity with the new technical standard, examining a concrete method to specify performance requirement for quay walls..
