This research presents a probabilistic framework for risk analysis under the dual hazards of flood and earthquake using reliability methods. In this research the term “risk” refers to the exceedance probability of the maximum loss resulting from the flood and earthquake hazards over a given time period. This methodology is implemented for the multi-hazard risk analysis of the buildings of a virtual city. The Monte Carlo sampling method is used to propagate uncertainties and compute the probability distribution of the maximum loss under each hazard. Subsequently, the load combination theory is applied to integrate the loss exceedance probabilities under the flood and earthquake hazards....
