Monte Carlo Simulation
This chapter discusses the basic concept and techniques for Monte Carlo simulation. The simulation methods for a single random variable as well as those for a random vector (consisting of multiple variables) are discussed, followed by the simulation of so

Preface
The failure of important engineering structures and infrastructure facilities, caused by either environmental or anthropogenic extreme events, may lead to substantial economic losses to the facility owner or occupant and further a ripple effect in the surrounding community. Recently, public awareness has been raised significantly regarding structural performance in the context of community resilience, for which the research community and engineers are seeking advanced implementations for building and construction practice. With this regard, structural reliability analysis is an essential tool in terms of evaluating and managing structural safety and serviceability, aimed at providing quantitative information on whether a structure can withstand extreme events with an acceptable level of reliabili
