Performance-based seismic design (PBSD) represents a paradigm shift from traditional prescriptive approaches to earthquake-resistant design of structures. This research paper provides a comprehensive review and meta-analysis of PBSD methodologies specifically applied to multi-storey buildings using STAAD-Pro software. The review synthesizes findings from numerous studies conducted over the past two decades, highlighting the evolution of analytical techniques, modeling capabilities, and design optimization strategies. Particular emphasis is placed on comparing conventional force-based design methods with performance-based approaches and their implementation within the STAAD-Pro environment. The meta-analysis reveals significant advantages of PBSD in terms of improved safety margins, economic efficiency, and structural resilience across various seismic zones. However, challenges remain in the standardization of performance objectives, accurate nonlinear modeling of structural components, and integration of performance criteria within existing design frameworks. This paper contributes to the field by identifying research gaps, evaluating the reliability of current PBSD methods, and proposing directions for future investigations to enhance seismic design practices using advanced computational tools like STAAD-Pro.
