• Abstract: Structural reliability analysis supports the design and safety assessment of buildings and civil infrastructure but requires specialized expertise throughout the workflow. This study presents a multi-agent large language model framework that automates component-level reliability analysis from a natural-language problem statement to interpreted estimates of the reliability index and failure probability. Specialized agents handle problem formulation, method planning, code generation, execution, and result interpretation, with human confirmation at key decision points. The Method Planner is fine-tuned using QLoRA for a priori reliability-method category selection. Analysis results are not generated directly by an LLM; instead, validated deterministic solvers compute the reliability estimates, improving reproducibility and reducing hallucination risk. The framework uses open-weight models and supports local execution without closed APIs. Results show that it lowers the expertise barrier to structural reliability assessment while preserving computational trustworthiness.

  In large language models (LLMs), identifying sources of uncertainty is an important step toward improving reliability, trustworthiness, and interpretability. In this paper, we introduce an uncertainty decomposition framework for LLMs, called input clarification ensembling. Our approach generates a set of clarifications for the input, feeds them into an LLM, and ensembles the corresponding predictions.
