Abstract
This paper presents a stochastic reliability analysis framework for calculating the system-level first-passage probability of the structural responses of multi-degree-of-freedom structural systems. This framework employs a Monte Carlo simulation (MCS)-based first-passage probability estimation technique in which a structural dynamic analysis is performed in each simulation realization. The framework is applied to a simple 16-story steel-frame structure, and the first-passage probability of 16 locations and the series system passage probability of the entire system have been estimated. The effect of the dependency between the structural responses is considered, and the improvements that need to be made to the presented framework in the future works are discussed.
