摘要
Performance-based design involves the calculation of design parameters to meet one or more performance criteria, with corresponding specified reliabilities over the service life. This work presents an approach to reliability calculations in performance-based design, using an importance sampling simulation, with performance functions evaluated by localized interpolation of a response database. Four examples are shown, including two applications to performance-based design in earthquake engineering: design parameters are obtained to optimally match target reliabilities for three limit states associated with different deformation levels.
