Results show that the probability distribution of stochastic seismic responses of the aqueduct structure is irregular. The stochastic earthquake response and the failure probability of large-scale aqueduct structure increase obviously with the rising of water level.  However, with the water level unchanged, the seismic response is apparently smaller while the seismic reliability much higher considering the water sloshing effect on the aqueduct structure.  %U http://ckyyb.crsri.cn/EN/10.3969/j.issn.1001-5485.2012.09.018
