Seismic Safety of Reinforced Concrete Frames
Abstract It frequently happens that one must calculate the reliability of systems, the deterministic behavior of which is described by complicated computer codes. Safety against partial or total collapse of reinforced concrete structures under earthquake loads is one example. Sources of uncertainty are numerous. They include input motion, system behavior and strength so that complexity of uncertainty propagation couples with complexity of mechanical modeling to make standard methods of time-invariant reliability and random vibration inadequate as either too simplistic or computationally not feasible. The field is new and largely unexplored. The objective of this paper is to go over general issues, review some preliminary results, and suggest new reliability procedures. Researchers in engineering safety may find these problems intellectually stimulating and technically challenging, but because such problems arise from practical needs, professionals should also find an interest in them.
