Risk Based Structural Optimization

by Palle Thoft-Christensen, Univ of Aalborg, Aalborg, Denmark,



Document Type: Proceeding Paper

Part of: Probabilistic Mechanics and Structural and Geotechnical Reliability

Abstract:

Risk based structural optimization problems for structural systems are formulated on basis of a so-called risk index. The risk index is defined as a consequence modified reliability index taking into account the consequence of failure in the individual failure modes.
