Abstract
The structural reliability analysis taking account of the fuzziness in both earthquake loads and structural resistances is put forward in this paper. For this purpose, the concepts such as fuzzy earthquake intensity, fuzzy response spectrum, fuzzy structural response and satisfaction degree to fuzzy-random constraint are defined. This procedure may be taken as a basis for establishing a more rational optimum design of structures.
