Bivariate distribution models using copulas for reliability analysis
The modeling of joint probability distributions of correlated variables and the evaluation of reliability under incomplete probability information remain a challenge that has not been studied extensively. This article aims to investigate the effect of copulas for modeling dependence structures between variables on reliability under incomplete probability information. First, a copula-based metho...
متن کاملBivariate distribution of shear strength parameters using copulas and its impact on geotechnical system reliability
The objective of this paper is to investigate the effect of copulas for constructing the bivariate distribution of shear strength parameters on system reliability of geotechnical structures. First, the bivariate distribution of shear strength parameters is constructed using copulas. Second, the implementation procedure of system reliability analysis using direct Monte Carlo simulation (MCS) is ...
متن کاملEntropy–Copula in Hydrology and Climatology
The entropy theory has been widely applied in hydrology for probability inference based on incomplete information and the principle of maximum entropy. Meanwhile, copulas have been extensively used for multivariate analysis and modeling the dependence structure between hydrologic and climatic variables. The underlying assumption of the principle of maximum entropy is that the entropy variables ...
متن کاملBivariate simulation using copula and its application to probabilistic pile settlement analysis
This paper aims to propose a procedure for modeling the joint probability distribution of bivariate uncertain data with a nonlinear dependence structure. First, the concept of dependence measures is briefly introduced. Then, both the Akaike Information Criterion and the Bayesian Information Criterion are adopted for identifying the best-fit copula. Thereafter, simulation of copulas and bivariat...
متن کاملEnhancement of random finite element method in reliability analysis and risk assessment of soil slopes using Subset Simulation
Random finite element method (RFEM) provides a rigorous tool to incorporate spatial variability of soil properties into reliability analysis and risk assessment of slope stability. However, it suffers from a common criticism of requiring extensive computational efforts and a lack of efficiency, particularly at small probability levels (e.g., slope failure probability Pf<0.001). To address this ...
