Four basic formulas for reliability of earthquake-resistant structures
Abstract
Based on considering the randomness and fuzziness of earthquake intensity and earthquake excitation, four basic formulas for reliability of earthquake-resistant structures are established. The resistibility bounds of structures are divided into four classes by the authors of this paper as follows: (1) Deterministic bound; ( 2 ) Random bound; ( 3 ) Fuzzy bound; (4) Fuzzy random bound.
