| description | A seismic checking method of engineering structures based on the stochastic semi-physical model of seismic ground motions is developed. Four groups of stochastic ground motions are generated using the stochastic semi-physical model of seismic ground motions. In conjunction with the probability density evolution method (PDEM) and the idea of the equivalent extreme-value event, the dynamic reliabilities of an engineering structure are evaluated. The dynamic reliability of the structure is taken as an index for seismic checking. A five-story reinforced concrete frame structure is analyzed using both the response spectrum method and the proposed method. Some features of the instantaneous probability density function (PDF) and its evolution, the extreme value distribution, and the dynamic reliability are discussed and compared with the results of the response spectrum method in the Chinese seismic code. The seismic checking results of the response spectrum method show that the structure is safe, while the results of the proposed method reveal a failure probability as high as 35.39%. Moreover, the structure has such different reliabilities when it is excited by different groups of simulated seismic ground motions. It reveals that a structure designed according to the seismic code may carry a high risk of failure. The proposed method provides a more accurate way for the evaluation of the reliabilities of engineering structures. |
