The growing interest in applying probabilistic performance-based design to wind excited structural systems has increased the need for models capable of efficiently estimating the inelastic responses of these systems. This paper outlines the development of such a model that combines the theory of dynamic shakedown with distributed plasticity and simulation methods, providing a framework for estimating any system-level probabilistic performance metric of interest. The potential of the proposed framework is illustrated on a full scale three dimensional building.This research effort was supported in part by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under Grant No. CMMI-1462084 and the Magnusson Klemencic Associates (MKA) Foundation under Research Grant Agreement #A101.
