Performance-based earthquake engineering with the first-order reliability method
… and the application of the first-order reliability method (FORM) in finite-element reliability analysis, and second, the seismic risk assessment of reinforced concrete structures for performance states such as, collapse and monetary loss. In the first area, the uncertainties arising from …

Reliability and failure analysis of composite beams and plates containing stress concentrations
… have to be employed. For this purpose, the finite element method is extensively used. For stress analysis of isotropic beams under four point bending and composite plates under in-plane loading, a finite element analysis program F2DELAST based on two-dimensional elasticity theory was …

Finite-element-based system reliability analysis and updating of fatigue-induced sequential failures
… systems, it is thus essential to estimate their reliability and identify critical sequences of local failures leading to system failures. In addition, it is desirable to update the original reliability based on inspection results, which will facilitate reliability-based structural maintenance …

Development and application of new system reliability analysis methods for complex infrastructure systems
… Despite significant advances in theories on reliability analysis of individual components and their adoption in practice, the critical knowledge and quantitative methods for reliability assessments of complex system events remain elusive, leading to unknown accuracies in the risk assessment. …
