Analysis and Optimum Design of Nondeterministic Structures under Random Loads

by Dan M. Frangopol, Univ of Colorado, Boulder, CO, USA,
Rachid Nakib, Univ of Colorado, Boulder, CO, USA,



Document Type: Proceeding Paper

Part of: Electronic Computation

Abstract:

The importance of analyzing and designing structural systems by using a reliability-based approach is emphasized, including system safety requirements with regard to both serviceability and ultimate limit states. To aid in reliability-based analysis and design, isosafety loading and design functions are introduced. Single and multi-criterion optimization formulations are also discussed.
