Structural Reliability Assessment
2020This chapter discusses the method and application in practical engineering of structural reliability assessment. Reliability theory is the basis for measuring structural safety level under a probability-based framework. This chapter starts from the definition of structural reliability and reliability index, followed by the computation methods of ...

Structural Reliability Optimization
1994Maximum likelihood points play a predominant role in structural reliability computation. The point of maximum likelihood (or the failure point) is the solution of a nonlinear mathematical programming problem with a nonlinear equality constraint (NEP). Sequential quadratic programming (SQP) is regarded as one of the best procedures to solve an NEP1, 2 ...

Reliability of Structures and Structural Systems
Journal of the Engineering Mechanics Division, 1968The safety and reliability of structures and structural systems are examined within the context of several physically plausible assumptions. Some fundamental results are derived to clarify the consequences of various assumptions pertaining to a system and its components on the reliability of a structure.

2004
This chapter represents a brief review of the concepts of the reliability of structures. Some closed form solutions, as well as approximate methods are elucidated. Different attempts to describe probabilistically the so-called “safety factor” are provided as well as and some instructive counter-examples are given.

Reliability of nuclear structures
Nuclear Engineering and Design, 1989Abstract The reliability of nuclear structures relates directly to the reliability of mechanical and electronic systems. Nuclear structures may be viewed as part of operational system as well as part of standby safety system. Except for proof loading, most of the load types, seen by nuclear structures, such as containments, primary piping, etc ...
