Objectives • The objective of this paper is to conduct the reliability analysis of high-rise buildings under wind loads. Numerical examples are provided to capture the dynamic effects of structures with eccentricity between the elastic and mass centers. The framework of this research consists of two stages • The first stage includes two parts: the deterministic analysis of wind-induced acceleration for a variety of attack angles, i.e., the demand, and the determination of allowable acceleration based on the occupant comfort criteria for wind-excited buildings, i.e., the capacity • According to the results obtained in the first stage, the reliability analysis is conducted in the second stage, which can predict the probability of dissatisfaction with occupant comfort criteria for a variety of probability distributions of the structural eccentricity The Fifth International Conference on Reliable Engineering Computing (REC2012), June 13-15, 2012

Numerical Examples • Two numerical examples, i.e., the torsionally uncoupled and coupled systems (40-story buildings), are provided to conduct the reliability analysis of high-rise buildings under wind loads for a variety of attack angles • Four types of parameters: the high-rise building model, wind load model, occupant comfort criteria and reliability analysis, are considered in this study • All parameters of the two numerical examples are the same except the eccentricity between the elastic and mass centers • Three types of probability distributions: the normal, lognormal and type I extreme value distributions, are used to model the uncertainties of the eccentricity between the elastic and mass centers The Fifth International Conference on Reliable Engineering Computing (REC2012), June 13-15, 2012

Conclusions • The objective of this paper is to conduct the reliability analysis of high-rise buildings under wind loads. Two numerical examples, i.e., the torsionally uncoupled and coupled systems, are provided to capture the dynamic effects of structures with eccentricity between the elastic and mass centers. The framework of this research consists of two stages • In the first stage, the occupant comfort criteria are satisfied in the two numerical examples from the viewpoint of deterministic approaches. The peak acceleration of the torsionally coupled system is relatively higher than that of the torsionally uncoupled system for each attack angle due to the coupled mode effects • In the second stage, compared to the lognormal and type I extreme value distributions, the normal distribution can be used to more conservatively simulate the uncertainties of the eccentricity between the elastic and mass centers in the two numerical examples from the viewpoint of probabilistic approaches. The probability of the torsionally coupled system is relatively higher than that of the torsionally uncoupled system for each attack angle due to the coupled mode effects The Fifth International Conference on Reliable Engineering Computing (REC2012), June 13-15, 2012
