Risk‐based derivation of target reliability levels for life extension of wind turbine structural components

open access: yesWind Energy, 2021
The main wind turbine design standard IEC61400‐1 ed. 4 includes an annual target reliability index for structural components of 3.3. Presently, no standards specify specific reliability requirements for existing wind turbines, to be used in relation to ...

A contribution to the study of flexural reliability of steel-concrete composite beams designed according to NBR 8800:2008

open access: yesRevista IBRACON de Estruturas e Materiais, 2023
This work assesses the flexural reliability of compact sections and full-interaction steel-concrete composite beams designed according to NBR 8800:2008. Reliability indexes are obtained for different grades of concrete, slab heights, and load combination.

The meaning of Beta: background and applicability of the target reliability index for normal conditions to structural fire engineering [PDF]

open access: yesProcedia Engineering, 2017
Abstract Uncommon structural fire engineering designs must demonstrate adequate safety, in principle, through a balancing of the uncertain future costs and benefits of safety investments. In structural design for normal load conditions (‘ambient design’) this level of detail is commonly avoided through the application of reliability targets. In order

Wind Pressure Statistics and Target Reliability Index for Wind Load-governed Limit State of Reliability-based Bridge Design Codes

open access: yesKSCE Journal of Civil Engineering, 2019
This paper presents a general procedure for evaluating a proper target reliability index and corresponding wind load factor for a wind load-governed limit state in reliability-based design codes. The Monte-Carlo simulation is conducted to reveal relationships between statistical parameters of wind velocity and pressure.
