Abstract: This chapter integrates the dimension-reduction simulation method of stochastic ground motions with the probability density evolution method (PDEM) to systematically address nonlinear dynamic response analysis and global reliability assessment of complex engineering structures. Three representative case studies, including a concrete gravity dam, a high-rise frame-core tube structure, and a high-pier long-span rigid-frame bridge, demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed framework in accommodating multi-component and/or multi-point seismic inputs, refining nonlinear response analysis and structural global reliability assessment, and identifying vulnerable components. The work offers a robust scientific basis for the seismic retrofitting of existing structures and the design of new ones.
