A comparative study of various metamodelling approaches namely the least squares method (LSM), moving least squares method (MLSM) and artificial neural network (ANN) based response surface method (RSM) are presented to demonstrate the effectiveness to approximate the nonlinear dynamic response of structure required for efficient seismic reliability analysis (SRA) of structures. The seismic response approximation by the LSM, MLSM and ANN based RSMs are explained with a brief note on the important issue of ground motion bin generation. The procedure adopted herein for SRA is based on the dual response surface approach. In doing so, the repetition of seismic intensity for SRA at different intensity levels is avoided by including this as one of the predictors in the seismic response prediction model. A nonlinear SDOF system has been taken up to elucidate the effectiveness of various metamodels in SRA.
