Structural Reliability

Mark G. Stewart · Encyclopedia of Quantitative Risk Analysis and Assessment · 2008

Abstract Structural systems such as buildings, bridges, water tanks, containment vessels, and communication towers are often represented as load‐resistance systems. In all cases, these structures represent substantial and expensive assets that are unique or “one‐off”. Even apparently, similar buildings have different occupancy loads, foundations, connection details, etc. Clearly, their reliability cannot be directly inferred from observation of failures or other experimental studies. In these circumstances, reliabilities need to be predicted from predictive models and probabilistic methods. As such, there is a clear recognition that uncertainty and variability are associated with many variables describing a structure's performance and that this can be accounted for explicitly by the use of probability distributions and structural reliability theory. Structural reliability theory allows the probability of failure to be predicted where failure is defined to occur when load exceeds a resistance. Not surprisingly, structural reliability theory underpins many recent advances in structural and safety engineering, including development of design and assessment codes, predicting service‐life performance, and assessment and maintenance of aging and deteriorating structures.

Reliability of Structural Reliability Estimation

Isaac Elishakoff, Roberta Santoro · 2013

Abstract: In this paper we study the reliability of calculations of the structural reliability. It compares the exact reliability expression within the Bernoulli-Euler column theory with its counterpart obtained via the finite difference expression in the buckling context.

Structural and System Reliability

Armen Der Kiureghian · Cambridge University Press eBooks · 2022

Based on material taught at the University of California, Berkeley, this textbook offers a modern, rigorous and comprehensive treatment of the methods of structural and system reliability analysis. It covers the first- and second-order reliability methods for components and systems, simulation methods, time- and space-variant reliability, and Bayesian parameter estimation and reliability updating. It also presents more advanced, state-of-the-art topics such as finite-element reliability methods, stochastic structural dynamics, reliability-based optimal design, and Bayesian networks. A wealth of well-designed examples connect theory with practice, with simple examples demonstrating mathematical concepts and larger examples demonstrating their applications. End-of-chapter homework problems are included throughout. Including all necessary background material from probability theory, and accompanied online by a solutions manual and PowerPoint slides for instructors, this is the ideal text for senior undergraduate and graduate students taking courses on structural and system reliability in departments of civil, environmental and mechanical engineering.
