Xu Bao et al.

Summary: This paper proposes a framework for the fragility evaluation of containment structures under mainshock-aftershock excitations, which can effectively incorporate the impact of mainshock-damaged states.

Reliability-Based Design Optimization of Structures Considering Uncertainties of Earthquakes Based on Efficient Gaussian Process Regression Metamodeling

Yanjie Xiao et al.

Summary: An efficient reliability-based design optimization (RBDO) method, based on adaptive Gaussian process regression (GPR) metamodeling, is proposed in this study to reduce the computational burden and effectively consider the uncertainties of ground motions and structural parameters. The method uses a GPR model to approximate the engineering demand parameter (EDP) and an active learning strategy to update the design of experiments (DoE) of this metamodel. The reliability of design variables is calculated using Monte Carlo simulation (MCS), and an optimal solution is obtained using an efficient global optimization (EGO) algorithm. The developed method is validated and compared with existing methods by applying it to the optimization problems of a steel frame and a reinforced concrete frame. The results demonstrate that the method can provide accurate reliability information for seismic design and can handle the problems of minimizing costs under the probabilistic constraint and improving seismic reliability under limited costs.
