Structural reliability and risk management are critical in ensuring that concrete structures and infrastructure systems remain safe, functional and economically viable over their intended lifespans.

Abstract: A new method for calculating structural reliability under impact load conditions based on the energy method is proposed. Using this method, the energy magnitude of the impact load acting on ...

The growth of the global wind energy sector is undisputable with 215GW of installed capacity as of June 2011 (over 100 times the installed capacity of 1990). As the industry strives to innovate by ...

Abstract: Aiming at the problem of computational inefficiency of traditional reliability analysis methods when dealing with large-scale structural systems, this paper proposes a reliability analysis ...

ABSTRACT: Parametric uncertainties should always be considered when setting design criteria in order to ensure safe and cost effective design of engineered structures. This paper presents the results ...

All the parameters of interest in engineering design have some degree of uncertainty. It is important to understand the influence of different random parameters on the system or component performance.

In the seventies and eighties, great efforts were made to produce more rational structural design procedures and codes. As a result of these efforts, allowable stress design was replaced by limit ...

The FERUM (Finite Element Reliability Using Matlab) project was initiated in 1999 at the University of California, Berkeley, by Terje Haukaas and Armen Der Kiureghian, primarily for pedagogical ...
