The last two decades have seen a considerable interest in the response of structures to stochastic loads such as wind, waves and earthquakes, and numerous papers have been written on the subject. Nonetheless, at least for linear structure, the classical methods of stochastic response analysis rest on rather simple and well-defined basis, namely the evaluation of the correlation functions of the response in terms of the correlation functions of the excitation.
The covariance functions of the response are then used to find, e.g., characteristics amplitudes or failure probabilities in terms of first-passage of certain barriers.
