Abstract
A Monte Carlo simulation for the failure criterion, which depends on the design capacity and the demand, is developed for the moment resisting frame subjected to earthquake loading. The probabilistic reliability has been modelled using a newly proposed probability density function [1]. Inelastic rotation is the main focus of the Monte Carlo simulation and is selected as the random variable for the Monte Carlo simulation. The elastoplastic model is employed to represent the inelastic behaviour of each member in the structure. While using the Monte Carlo simulation, it has been shown that probabilistic simulations of the existing earthquake records are needed to predict accurately the earthquake activities at a specified location. Assuming that the building of which this frame is a part has a useful life of 50 years, failure analysis based on the probabilistic approach is performed to predict the failure of the moment resisting frame for the next 50 years.
