Fatigue Reliability of Prestressed Concrete Bridges
Experimental studies indicate that fatigue is a random phenomenon. Therefore, the approach is based on probabilistic methods. The fatigue life of the prestressed concrete girder is estimated...

The Estimation of Allowable Strength Based on Fatigue Reliability of Welded Part and Base Metal of Rail in Korea
In the allowable stress design, the safety of structures have been ensured by safety factor based on static strength. Under dynamic loading condition, the allowable stress based on allowable...

Reliability Analysis for Nonlinear Limit States
An analytical procedure, incorporating individual probability distributions of random variables, is proposed for generating moments of any arbitrary order for the nonlinear limit state...

Reliability of Plastic Slabs
In the paper it is shown how upper and lower bounds for the reliability of plastic slabs can be determined. For the fundamental case it is shown that optimal bounds of a deterministic...

Lifetime-Maximum Load Effect for Highway Bridges Based on Stochastic Combination of Typical Traffic Loadings
An efficient and accurate method is proposed for probabilistic assessment of lifetime maximum load effect on highway bridges caused by traffic load. Probability distribution of the lifetime...

The N-Year Maximum Mean Values and the Coefficients of Variation of Loads Subjected to Port and Offshore Structures
It is necessary to know mean values and coefficients of variation of loads in order to verify the safety of structures. In this paper, the N-year maximum mean values and the coefficients...

Extraordinary Live Load Model in Retail Premises
Based on a live load survey on six supermarkets, the probabilistic nature of sustained live loads and simulated extraordinary live loads were examined. The simulation was performed to...

Extreme Value Distribution for Stochastic Processes Subject to a Full Load Climate
Reliability analysis of structures subject to environmental loads generally involves load effects which are properly treated as stochastic processes, and requires determination of the...

The Extremes of Combinations of Environmental Loads
The objectives and the general approach of an offshore environmental data and extremal analysis are described. The intention is to develop long-term design values of wave, wind and current...

Statistical Analysis of Australian Ground Snow Loads
This paper is concerned with the statistical analysis of snow data from the alpine areas of southeastern Australia (above 1200 m). In these areas, the local variation is large and contour...

Probabilistic Approach to Stress Distributions for Orthotropic Wood Plates
Probabilistic approach to the stress distributions of an orthotropic wood plate is discussed. The stress distributions for the orthotropic elastic media are fully dependent of the material...

Load Resistance Factor Design of Aluminum Structures
Load and Resistance Factor Design (LRFD) is a reliability-based approach to design with uncertainty. It involves the explicit consideration of limit states, multiple load and resistance...

Study on Reliability of Actual Steel Structure Using Measured Data
The measurement of uncertainties was taken on an actually constructed steel structure. The stress and strain of each part of the structure are calculated based on the conditions assumed...

Statistical Properties of Prestressed Concrete Beams in Shear
Monte Carlo simulations were performed on prestressed concrete rectangular and tee-section beams in shear produced by a single concentrated load at mid span. The truss analogy model was...

Reliability-Oriented Materials Design of Composite Materials
A basic formulation for evaluating safety index of unidirectional fiber reinforced laminate is presented. The proposed formulation is based on in-plane failure criteria of composite laminate...

Verification of NESSUS Code on Space Propulsion Components
Application of probabilistic finite element method to the structural analysis of typical space propulsion components such as turbine blades and high pressure ducts is reported. The study...

Application of Probabilistic Reliability Analysis Methods to Ariane 5 Unequipped Booster Case
The paper demonstrates the capabilities of probabilistic structure analysis methods as a tool to support the design and manufacture of the Ariane 5 Unequipped Booster Case within a RAMS...

Buried Structural Capacity of Insituform?
In July 1988, a test was conducted at Utah State University to determine the structural support that can be provided to a failing rigid pipe system through the use of the Insituform process....

Transportation Cask Life Cycle Cost Uncertainty Analysis
This paper demonstrates an uncertainty analysis methodology using random sampling. This methodology has been applied to a nuclear waste transportation code, and several transportation...

Development of a CRUD Particle Size Distribution and Its Effect on Cask Source Term and Containment Analyses
Spent pressurized-water reactor (PWR) and boiling-water reactor (BWR) fuel rods from three reactors were examined by hot cell periscope, energy dispersive x-ray analysis, and scanning...
