AN ADAPTIVE IMPORTANCE SAMPLING-BASED ALGORITHM USING THE FIRST-ORDER METHOD FOR STRUCTURAL RELIABILITY
Monte Carlo simulation (MCS) is a useful tool for computation of probability of failure in reliability analysis. However, the large number of samples, often required for acceptable accuracy, makes it time-consuming. Importance sampling is a method on the basis of MCS which has been proposed to reduce the computational time of MCS. In this paper, a new adaptive importance sampling-based algorith...
متن کاملCharacterizing Drought Using the Reliability-Resilience-Vulnerability Concept
This study borrows the measures developed for the operation of water resources systems as a means of characterizing droughts in a given region. It is argued that the common approach of assessing drought using a univariate measure (severity or reliability) is inadequate as decision makers need assessment of the other facets considered here. It is proposed that the joint distribution of reliabili...
متن کاملConvergence analysis of first order reliability method using chaos theory
First order reliability method (FORM) for the computation of reliability index has been used widely because of its advantages of the efficiency and effectiveness as well simplicity for many years. There exists the phenomenon of convergent failure in the FORM in calculating the reliability index iteratively for some limit state functions, for which the essential factor is investigated using chao...
متن کاملDisagreement, reliability, and resilience
Alex Worsnip has recently argued against conciliatory views that say that the degree of doxastic revision required in light of disagreement is a function of one’s antecedent reliability estimates for oneself and one’s disputant. According to Worsnip, the degree of doxastic revision is also sensitive to the resilience of these estimates; in particular, when one has positive “net resilience,” mea...
متن کاملPractical First-order Reliability Computations Using Spreadsheet
ABSRACT: A practical procedure for reliability analysis involving correlated nonnormals was described in Low & Tang (1997), using object-oriented constrained optimization in the ubiquitous spreadsheet platform. Numerical derivatives and iterative search for the design point were automatic. The objective of this paper is to further illustrate the 1997 procedure for two geotechnical problems with...
