With the development of performance based earthquake engineering, the recognition of
performance based seismic design (PBSD) is continuously growing in academia and …

For stochastic dynamical systems with multiple uncertain parameters, it is often of interest to
detect which parameters are dominant, in which the global sensitivity analysis may be one of …

The probability measure of low-quality concrete is essential for the reliability analysis of
concrete structures. However, this problem is usually neglected, and the normal distribution …

In this work, a novel Fréchet-derivative-based global sensitivity analysis is incorporated into
the probability density evolution method for the simultaneous reliability and sensitivity …

Acquiring engineering data is frequently expensive, resulting in sparse data that may lead to
a lack of knowledge for design and analysis. Thus, it is not always feasible to precisely …

Due to ambiguous correlations between input random variables and multi-source
uncertainties from the electrochemical model, significant differences between deterministic …

Abstract The Alternative Load Path method is widely adopted to perform progressive
collapse analyses for reinforced concrete (RC) frame structures subjected to column …

Performance-based earthquake engineering (PBEE) is a popular direction in the earthquake
community, and at this stage, risk-based PBEE has become mainstream. In the risk-based …

In underground gas storage (UGS) systems, the production tubing string system undergoes
complex thermo-mechanical loading conditions, leading to fatigue damage accumulation …

The probability density function (PDF) of structural responses is one of the significant
fundamentals for structural reliability analysis. Nonetheless, it is still challenging to compute …
