Reliability Analysis of Snow Depth Monitoring System Based on Improved FMECA
, 2016Aiming at the problems of low accuracy and strong subjectivity in reliability analysis based on FMECA, the fuzzy theory and VIKOR theory methods are applied in criticality analysis in FMECA technique. Firstly, fuzzy decision matrix of risk factors based on fuzzy theory is built, in which fuzziness is removed by barycenter method, and specific ...

Reliability of sampling designs for spatial snow surveys
Computers & Geosciences, 2007Spatial patterns are an inherent property of most naturally occurring materials at a large range of scales. To describe spatial patterns in the field, several observations are made according to a certain sampling design. The spatial structure can be described by the semivariogram range, and nugget and sill variances. We test how reliably seven sampling

Reliability of steel roof structures under snow loads
Structural Safety, 2015Abstract The collapse of roof structures under extreme snow loads can harm building occupants, leave building owners burdened by costs of repairs, and lead to loss of income, equipment or merchandise. This study investigates the reliability of two types of steel roofs: those supported by open web steel joists, and those supported by wide-flange steel

Abstract An appropriate probabilistic description of snow loads is important in reliability analysis. Probability distributions for annual maximum ground snow loads are studied in detail in this paper based on the samples of snow loads on the ground, which are simulated by a snowmelt model.

Failures of Roofs under Snow Load: Causes and Reliability Analysis
Forensic Engineering 2009, 2009Collapses of a number of roofs in Europe during the winter 2005/2006 initiated discussions concerning reliability of the roofs exposed to snow loads. Presented overview of extensive investigations of structural failures is focused on causes and consequences of failures.

Effect of Statistical Uncertainties in Ground Snow Load on Structural Reliability
IABSE Reports, 2015<p>This paper studies the effect of commonly neglected statistical uncertainties on structural reliability. The failure probability of a generic structural member, subjected to snow load is analysed using frequentist and Bayesian techniques to quantify parameter estimation and model selection uncertainties in ground snow load. Various variable to
