A methodology that permits an assessment of the reliability of concrete frames, which may have been damaged in previous earthquakes, is presented. Using Monte Carlo simulation, damage probability matrices are constructed that take into account the variability of building strength parameters in addition to the randomness of ground motions. This methodology can serve owners and public officials as a decision aid for strengthening strategies and repairs.
