Applying the Time-Reliability Equation

by Verne A. Geidl, Univ of Idaho, United States,
Sam C. Saunders, Univ of Idaho, United States,



Document Type: Proceeding Paper

Part of: Probabilistic Methods in Civil Engineering

Abstract:

This paper presents a methodology for rigorously including time-varying elements of reliability through the use of the time-reliability equation. An example reliability analysis which includes the time-dependent nature of concrete compressive strength, prestress losses, and the live-load population is made for a prestressed concrete girder. The results of the example are compared to that of a conventional level III reliability analysis.
