A consistent seismic hazard and fragility framework considering combined capacity-demand
uncertainties is proposed, in light of the probability density evolution method (PDEM). The …

In practical geotechnical engineering of slopes, it is well-known that the uncertainty of soil
properties and ground motions need to be considered for the safety of the project. The effect …

Many high concrete face rockfill dams (CFRDs) have been constructed in earthquake-prone
areas in recent years, and it is essential to evaluate the seismic safety performance of these …

A novel approach for nonlinear stochastic dynamic analysis is proposed and illustrated with
nonlinear building structures subjected to mainshock–aftershock sequences. First, a …

Since the well-known Millennium bridge accident happened at the beginning of this century,
both researchers and engineers realized that the human-induced vibration may lead to …

Generally, the static and dynamic reliabilities of structures are addressed separately in the
existing methods except the computationally expensive stochastic sampling-based …

The multiple uncertainties of soil properties and ground motions significantly affect the
seismic response of high concrete face rockfill dams (CFRDs). Three types of randomness …

This paper proposes a unified and efficient direct probability integral method (DPIM) to
calculate the probability density function (PDF) of responses for linear and nonlinear …

This article focuses on the adaptive Kriging metamodel-based reliability analysis for
reducing a sequential number of calls of the complex original functions. To avoid the …

Robustness is the most comprehensive and acceptable index that describes the ability of
structures to withstand progressive collapse induced by accidental extreme events such as …
