Deterministic seismic analysis of cabinet facility does not reflect the real behavior of the system with the uncertainties of material parameters. This paper investigates the effects of uncertain properties in the context of random field theory for the stochastic dynamic response of cabinet. The influences of different decomposition methods (i.e. Cholesky, Eigen, and modified Cholesky) with various correlation lengths of the spatial material distribution are explored. The responses are compared to the case where no variation is applied in the properties of the model.

This study is to evaluate the seismic demand of reinforced concrete structure considering the incident angle of the ground motions. For this purpose, a three-story structure is numerically analyzed under the three ground motion records through a multi-component incremental dynamic analysis (MIDA). The MIDA, an implementation of Incremental dynamic analysis, investigates two components of seismic excitation in which all accelerations are scaled to spectral accelerations at the fundamental natural periods of the buildings. The obtained results indicate the influence of the incident angle should be considered in the assessment response of structures. Maximum inter-story drift of structure will behave in the elastic or inelastic range depending on the variable incident angle
