Abstract
Reliability measures for simple nonlinear structures subjected to seismic loading are investigated using dynamic analysis and damage‐related limit states. The nonlinear dynamic response and accompanying statistical analyses are computed using simulation for a vriety of single‐degree‐of‐freedom frames. These analyses provide benchmarks against which theoretical results may be compared. Reliability measures computed in this study are compared to those determined previously using equivalent static limit states, and the implications for probability‐based safety checking are described.Keywords
