This study employs the seismic reliability-based design approach for inelastic structures isolated by friction pendulum isolators, considering two different highly seismic Italian sites to provide useful design recommendations. Incremental dynamic analyses are carried out to estimate the seismic fragility of the superstructure and of devices, assuming different structural properties and limit state thresholds. Finally, considering seismic hazard curves of the investigated sites, seismic reliability-based design curves are proposed to derive the dimensions in plan of devices and the ductility demand of the superstructure as a function of both the structural properties and the reliability level expected. The proposed results confirm the possibility of using seismic reliability-based design as a sustainable and applicable approach and represent a large data set to adopt this design methodology in any site with a similar seismic hazard.

This study proposes a reliability-based design procedure to evaluate the allowable load for augered cast-in-place (ACIP) piles installed in predominately granular soils based on a prescribed level of reliability at the serviceability limit state. The ultimate limit state (ULS) ACIP pile–specific design model proposed in the companion paper is incorporated into a bivariate hyperbolic load–displacement model capable of describing the variability in the load–displacement relationship for a wide range of pile displacements. Following the approach outlined in the companion paper, distributions with truncated lower-bound capacities are incorporated into the reliability analyses. A lumped load-and-resistance factor is calibrated using a suitable performance function and Monte Carlo simulations. The average and conservative 95% lower-bound prediction intervals for the calibrated load-and-resistance factor resulting from the simulations are provided. Although unaccounted for in past studies, the slenderness ratio is shown to have significant influence on foundation reliability. Because of the low uncertainty in the proposed ULS pile capacity prediction model, the use of a truncated distribution has moderate influence on foundation reliability.
