With the rise of the resilience concept, scholars and practitioners have paid increasing
attention to resilient city, which has become a new means of coping with hazards. As the …

This article presents a brief survey on some of the latest developments in the area of
reliability-based design optimization of structural systems under stochastic excitation. The …

Abstract The Three Gorges Reservoir Area (TGRA) is one of the most important landslide-
prone regions in China, and rational stability evaluation of reservoir slopes in it is of great …

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 …

The reliability analysis of complex structures usually involves implicit performance function
and expensive-to-evaluate computational models, which pose a great challenge for the …

In the stochastic dynamic analysis of nonlinear structures, the strategy of point selection
plays a critical role in achieving the tradeoffs between the accuracy and efficiency. To this …

In conjunction with the formulation of random functions, a family of renewed spectral
representation schemes is proposed. The selected random function serves as a random …

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