Abstract
The behavior of structures subjected to earthquake excitations is probabilistic rather than deterministic. Moreover, the origin of earthquakes, the inherency of earthquakes caused by fault movement, is stochastic as well. Hence, the uncertainty is in the whole property of earthquake records, such as peak ground acceleration and frequency content. In the next step, the whole property of structures, namely element details, material properties and hysteresis or ductility behaviors are probabilistic. The evaluation of structures cannot be concluded if all these uncertainties are addressed.
