In this study, safety margin explicit equation has been established using random variables (i.e., the engineering conditions, structure parameters, structural strength, and external load), and the ...

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 ...

The aim of the module is to enable students to understand the fundamental principles of structural reliability, to have an appreciation of some advanced aspects and to demonstrate their application ...

Abstract: Due to a lack of complete information, epistemic uncertainty widely exists in engineering structures and mechanical systems. Evidence theory, which has a general and flexible framework, has ...

Every structural design has uncertainties associated to construction materials and to the actions it will be subject to during execution and the useful life. Brazilian structural codes incorporate ...

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 ...

This webinar introduces methods to assess structural fragility and map system reliability at the community scale using real-world data and MBNpy, an open-source tool for system reliability analysis.
