On the Role of Uncertainties in Structural Analysis
نویسنده
چکیده
Structural analysis and design has to be performed by considering uncertainties both in loading and structural properties respectively. While in traditional analysis and design procedures these uncertainties were take into acount in a qualitative manner in order to adhere to deterministic concepts modern procedures are shown to allow their quantitative processing. This way a rational treatment of the propagation of uncertainties through structural systems as well as the assessment of their reliability becomes feasible.

PERFORMANCE BASED DESIGN OPTIMIZATION OF STEEL MOMENT RESISTING FRAMES INCORPORATING SEISMIC DEMAND AND CONNECTION PARAMETERS UNCERTAINTIES
One of the most important problems discussed recently in structural engineering is the structural reliability analysis considering uncertainties. To have an efficient optimization process for designing a safe structure, firstly it is required to study the effects of uncertainties on the seismic performance of structure and then incorporate these effects on the optimization process. In this stud...
متن کاملReliability analysis of suspension bridges against buffeting failure
A reliability analysis of suspension bridges against buffeting failure due to gustiness of wind velocity is carried out using the concept of PRA (probabilistic risk analysis) procedure. For this purpose, the bending stresses at the critical nodes of the bridge deck are obtained for buffeting forces using a spectral analysis technique and a finite element approach. For the purpose of reliability...

متن کاملFailure Probability and Remaining Life Assessment of Reheater Tubes
In this study, a real and significant industrial problem in a steam power plant was investigated. Reheater tubes in boilers are under the creep and the fireside corrosion mechanism that cause some of them to fail. Since the estimation of probability of failure (PoF) and remaining life (RL) is expensive and time consuming in the deterministic methods, in this work they were evaluated using struc...
متن کاملCritical Analysis of Opinions of Scholiasts on Uncertainties of 16th Ayah (verse) of Al-Isra Surah (chapter) - A Survey of Ayah’s Purpose
During analysis, sometimes the details of Ayahs (verses) cause ambiguities or uncertainties in the mind. To merely focus on resolving ambiguities with no attention to the main idea of the verse, can make difficulties in answering such uncertainties and a reduction in understandings as well; the matter is explicitly observable in the pertinent Ayah (16 / Al-Isra). The present research, bes...
