24 Implementation Points Observations: Proposed approach requires a timeindependent analysis (beta and MPP) at ALL time steps. Only low-beta limit states contribute to composite limit state. To avoid calculating beta and MPP at ALL time steps: Build a surrogate of beta curve using Kriging Build composite limit state (CLS) progressively starting with times where beta is low. Stop if CLS does not change further. REC 2014; Chicago, IL 24
