TL;DR: In this article, a new artificial neural network-based response surface method in conjunction with the uniform design method for predicting failure probability of structures is presented, which involves the selection of training datasets for establishing an ANN model, approximation of the limit state function by the trained ANN model and estimation of the failure probability using first-order reliability method (FORM).
