文摘This study proposes a method for calculating the probability distribution of structural responses at different intensities using the endurance time(ET)method.The results can be used to calculate the fragility curve of structural collapse.The ET method involves dynamic analysis of a structure under an intensifying record over time.While conventional ET methods can determine the median of the structural response,they lack the ability to calculate its dispersion.To address this limitation,the present study utilizes ET analysis and single-degree-of-freedom(SDOF)systems to develop a method that considers the record-to-record variability for calculating the probability distribution of structural response.The accuracy of this method is evaluated by comparing it with the incremental dynamic analysis(IDA)method using special moment frames.The results demonstrate that the proposed method achieves a reasonably accurate estimation of dispersion while significantly reducing the computational burden(by approximately 95%)compared to the IDA method.
