Fuzzy Probabilistic Analysis of Steel Structure Focused on Reliability Design Concept of Eurocodes

چکیده
Abstract. The modern unification of the European standards EUROCODE requires securing a constant quality of metallurgical production in the EU countries. In this paper, experimentally found statistical characteristics of yield stress, ultimate tensile strength and ductility of Czech and Austrian steel are presented. In the probabilistic reliability analysis, the experimentally found yield stress histograms of structural steel S235 of both Czech and Austrian manufacturing processes are considered as basic parameters. The reliability of steel members designed according to EUROCODE 3 is investigated. The objective of the studies is the verification of partial safety factors of load-carrying capacity, and of load action given in the standard EN1990. Differences in failure probabilities of steel members of Czech and Austrian production are studied in connection with the influence of model fuzzy uncertainties in the determination of load action and load-carrying capacity values.

Fuzzy Probability Methods in Applications to Reliability Analysis of Eurocode Rules for Steel Structure Design
The topic of the paper is the probabilistic analysis of the ultimate limit state of a steel strut loaded by permanent and long-time single variation action. The failure probability misalignment according to the EN 1990 concept of a structure designed according to the EUROCODE 3 is analyzed here. In the stochastic model, material and geometrical characteristics of a hot-rolled steel cross-sectio...
متن کاملMathematical modeling and fuzzy availability analysis for serial processes in the crystallization system of a sugar plant
The binary states, i.e., success or failed state assumptions used in conventional reliability are inappropriate for reliability analysis of complex industrial systems due to lack of sufficient probabilistic information. For large complex systems, the uncertainty of each individual parameter enhances the uncertainty of the system reliability. In this paper, the concept of fuzzy reliability...

This paper presents a practical methodology for optimization of concentrically braced steel frames subjected to forward directivity near-fault ground motions, based on the concept of uniform deformation theory. This is performed by gradually shifting inefficient material from strong parts of the structure to the weak areas until a state of uniform deformation is achieved. In this regard, to ove...

While sophisticated analytical methods like Morgenstern-Price or finite elementmethods are available for more realistic analysis of stability of slopes, assessment of the exactvalues of soil parameters is practically impossible. Uncertainty in the soil parameters arisesfrom two different sources: scatter in data and systematic error inherent in the estimate of soilproperties. Hence, stability o...

Background and objective: numerous seismic hazard analysis studies are conducted annually using probabilistic methods throughout the world and Iran, which are usually different from the initial assumptions of analysis or software used. On the other hand, many researches are presented every year about new methods of earthquake hazard zoning, but so far these studies have not computed earthquake ...
