摘要：This paper presents a stochastic analysis framework for estimating the system-level first-passage probability of the structural responses of multi-degree-of-freedom structural systems based on experimentally measured uncertainties. The uncertainties are quantified by comparing the measured structural responses using a wireless sensor system and the predicted responses from an analytical model. The wireless sensor network is designed based on a modular design method, and the experimental program details for the measurement of structural responses are provided using the developed wireless sensor network. This framework employs a Monte Carlo simulation (MCS)-based first-passage probability estimation technique in which a structural dynamic analysis is performed in each simulation realization. The framework is applied to a 16-story steel frame structure, and the first-passage probability of 16 locations and the series system passage probability of the entire system have been estimated. The effect of the dependency between the structural responses is considered, and the improvements that need to be made to the presented framework in the future works are discussed.
