The method is approximate in nature and rests on two main results: (1) the closed-form solution for the mean annual rate of exceedance of a limit state and (2) the empirical equal-displacement rule. Compliance with design objectives is obtained through a gradient-based search algorithm in the space of the design variables with reference to a linear elastic proxy of the structure. To this purpose, analytical gradients for Cornell’s formula are derived. An application illustrates the method and its validation through inelastic time-history analysis. From the limited investigation carried out, the method appears to offer satisfactory accuracy.
