This work reviews the implementation of adaptive metamodeling for reliability analysis, with emphasis on four main types of metamodels and a comparative discussion of their conceptual problems, theoretical descriptions, and applications. The efficiency of adaptive metamodeling is influenced by various considerations, and new areas of research interest such as cross application of methodologies and ensembles are identified.
The present work reviews the implementation of adaptive metamodeling for reliability analysis with emphasis in four main types of metamodels: response surfaces, polynomial chaos expansions, support vector machines, and Kriging models. The discussion presented is motivated by the identified spread and little interaction between metamodeling techniques in reliability, which makes it challenging for practitioners to decide which one to consider in a context of implementation. The conceptual problem of reliability analysis and the theoretical description of the four models is presented, and complemented by a comparative discussion of applications with identification of new areas of interest. The different considerations that influence the efficiency of adaptive metamodeling are reviewed, with extension to applicability discussions for the four models researched. Despite all adaptive techniques contributing to achieve significant gains in the amount of effort required for reliability analysis, and with minimal trade-off in accuracy, they should not be expected to perform equally in regard to the dependence on the reliability problem being addressed. Cross application of methodologies, bridging the gap between methodology and application, and ensembles are some of new areas of research interest identified. One of the major critical considerations for adaptive metamodeling, and that has been target of limited research, is the need for comprehensive techniques that allow a blind selection of the most adequate model with relation to the problem in-hand. To conclude, the extensive and comprehensive discussion presented aims to be a first step for the unification of the field of adaptive metamodeling in reliability; so that future implementations do not exclusively follow individual lines of research that progressively become more narrow in scope, but also seek transversal developments in the field of adaptive metamodeling for reliability analysis.

Stochastic analysis and reliability assessment of critical RC structural components considering material properties uncertainty
A. R. Ibrahim, D. A. Makhloof
Summary: The unavoidable heterogeneity in the mechanical characteristics of concrete is crucial to consider in the design of high-rise buildings. This study investigates the spatial variability of material properties and proposes a framework to capture the stochastic response and assess the reliability of structural components. The results demonstrate the importance of accounting for material uncertainty in ensuring the safety of high-rise buildings.

Variance-based reliability sensitivity with dependent inputs using failure samples
Max Ehre, Iason Papaioannou, Daniel Straub
Summary: Reliability sensitivity analysis is a method to measure the influence of uncertain input parameters on the probability of failure in a system. Statistically dependent inputs pose challenges in computing and interpreting sensitivity indices. This study introduces a separation of effects between the probabilistic model and computational model to compute the independent and full contributions of all inputs. By using hierarchically structured isoprobabilistic transformations, the full set of variance-based sensitivity indices can be computed with a single set of failure samples obtained from a rare event estimation method.

Variance reduction function for a potential inclined slip line in a spatially variable soil
Yuanqin Tao, Kok-Kwang Phoon, Honglei Sun, Jianye Ching
Summary: This study derives theoretical and approximate variance reduction functions (VRFs) for a potential inclined slip line in a spatially variable soil. The study investigates one-dimensional (1D) VRFs and proposes approximate VRFs for the one-dimensional Whittle-Mate 'rn (WM) model and the one-dimensional cosine Whittle-Mate 'rn (CosWM) model. The paper also derives theoretical scales of fluctuation and VRFs for commonly used two-dimensional autocorrelation models and proposes general approximations for the VRF over an inclined line.

Solution of FPK equation for stochastic dynamics subjected to additive Gaussian noise via deep learning approach
Amir H. Khodabakhsh, Seid H. Pourtakdoust
Summary: The Fokker-Plank-Kolmogorov (FPK) equation is a crucial model for understanding and improving the performance of engineering systems. However, its solution is challenging due to its high dimensionality. This study introduces FPK-DP Net, a physics-informed network that can effectively solve high-dimensional FPK equations and demonstrates its applicability and accuracy through numerical implementations on benchmark problems.

Risk-based maintenance and inspection of riverine flood defence systems
Wouter Jan Klerk, Vera van Bergeijk, Wim Kanning, Rogier Wolfert, Matthijs Kok
Summary: This paper examines the reliability of flood defence systems under shock-based degradation and compares different maintenance concepts. The results show that the current maintenance concept fails to meet the reliability requirements for revetment failure. Additional inspections and targeted interventions can significantly reduce total cost and improve the robustness of flood defence systems.

Probabilistic model of traffic scenarios for extreme load effects in long-span bridges
Xuejing Wang, Xin Ruan, Joan R. Casas, Mingyang Zhang
Summary: This paper proposes a probabilistic Gaussian mixture model for simulating heavy vehicle scenarios on long-span bridges under free-flow conditions. The study utilizes a non-stationary Poisson process to simulate the uneven occurrence of heavy vehicles in different lanes, considering the correlation of gross vehicle weights within close range. The results show that the correlation and stationarity of vehicle distribution location significantly affect the structural responses.
