The Journal of the Royal Aeronautical Society, 1955
The present preoccupation of aircraft designers and users with fatigue problems, brought to a head by the Comet disasters, has rendered the notion of the finite life of an aeroplane a commonplace to the man in the street, and has made the assessment of probabilities of failure and the collection of statistics regarding loads and structural properties a

Safety Case: Structure and Role
1995Safety can be defined as a state in which the level of risk is acceptable for the user. The risk is an expression of the possibility of a mishap in terms of hazard severity and hazard probability. The aim of constructing safety is to prove that the system possesses the highest safety integrity level. The Safety Case forms the main proof that the system

Descriptive sampling in structural safety
Structural Safety, 1995Structural system reliability is tackled by Monte-Carlo integration using descriptive sampling. The descriptive sampling is applied instead of the random sampling in the crude Monte-Carlo procedure as well as in the importance sampling procedures. High variance reduction and processing time improvement using descriptive sampling have been encountered.

Journal of Wind Engineering and Industrial Aerodynamics, 1990
Abstract A prototype knowledge-based system for structural safety assessment with emphasis on wind effects is under development. The system consists of three main modules: a rule-based module for guidance and wind engineering background information of a qualitative nature; a module for causal network modeling of the structure under consideration; and

Safety of hydraulic structures
Hydrotechnical Construction, 1993The Russian electric power industry remains the most powerful in the territory of the former USSR. It presently accounts for 63% of power facilities of the former unified power system of the USSR and 68% of all electricity produced. The hydropower industry, including more than 80 large hydroelectric stations (HESs), accounts for more than 17% of total ...

On the safety of optimized structures
Structural Optimization, 1989Confidence of designers in the theory of structural optimization is of fundamental importance for practical applications. The so-called “erosion of optimal designs” is discussed from this point of view, in the context of ring and plate examples for which the limit and post-limit behaviors are obtained either experimentally or by numerical simulations ...

Journal of the Structural Division, 1960
This paper presents methods of providing engineering safety and additional safety necessary for social purposes. The methods considered are the ratio, probability, and combined ratio and probability. Functional and collapse failure are discussed and also the concept of structural life in design.

The Analysis of Structural Safety
Journal of the Structural Division, 1966The work of the Task Committee on Factors of Safety, ASCE, to date (as of 1965) is summarized with a brief review of the work that has been done elsewhere in the field of structural reliability. On the basis of the assumption that the resisting strength of and the load applied to a structure are usually random variables, the probability of failure and ...
