Load Rating versus Reliability Analysis
نویسندگان
چکیده
The most common approach to assess the safety of a bridge is load rating. However, this approach cannot quantify the bridge safety in probabilistic terms or fully quantify the structural risk to the bridge. Reliability methods have become an increasingly popular and gradually accepted approach to assess the safety of structures. These methods account for the randomness and correlation of all relevant variables and failure modes in the analysis. This study performs both a load rating analysis and a reliability analysis on the same highway bridge, compares the results, and discusses the strengths and limitations of each approach. CE Database subject headings: Load criteria; Limit states; Bridges, highway; Structural reliability; System reliability; Live loads.

Development of a Design Procedure for Aeronautical Structures Based on Reliability
In this paper, an approach to aeronautical structural design based on reliability analysis is presented. In this way, the concept of level of safety is discussed and methods of its calculation using statistical data are described. Based on the concept of level of safety, a design procedure is proposed. In order to validate this design procedure, two design cases are studied. In the first case s...
متن کاملSymbolic Reliability Analysis of Self-healing Networked Embedded Systems
In recent years, several network online algorithms have been studied that exhibit self-x properties such as self-healing or self-adaption. These properties are used to improve systems characteristics like, e.g., fault-tolerance, reliability, or load-balancing. In this paper, a symbolic reliability analysis of self-healing networked embedded systems that rely on self-reconfiguration and self-rou...
متن کاملSensitivity and uncertainty analysis of sediment rating equation coefficients using the Monte-Carlo simulation (Case study: Zoshk-Abardeh watershed, Shandiz)
The sediment load estimation is essential for watershed management and soil conservation strategies. The sediment rating curve is the most common approach for estimating the sediment load when the observed sediment records are not available. With regard to the measurement errors and the limitation of available data, the sediment rating curve has a degree of uncertainty which should be accounted...
متن کاملPerformance analysis of Load balancing algorithms of cloud computing system based on MIPS rating
Cloud computing is very beneficial application which are sharing their resources on different node. There is a large number of user access the data. The basic principal of cloud computing are that data entering by the user is not store locally, but it store in data center on internet. The reliability of the cloud depends on how the loads are being handle. Load balancing means distributing workl...
متن کاملDetermination of the Best Model to Estimate Suspended Sediment Load in Zaremrood River, Mazandaran Province
Extended abstract 1- Introduction The phenomena of erosion, sediment transport, and sedimentations have tremendously destructive effects on the environment and hydraulics structures. In general, the sediment transportation depends on river discharges, but the proposed equations inherited serious errors. The estimation of suspended sediment load (SSL) is one of the most important factors in r...
