Reliability Analysis of Braced Excavations
… to soft clays (mainly in Japan), and a range of reliability in current practice was examined. The strut-buckling mode of current design appears to have reliability comparable to permanent structures, whereas two orders of magnitude lower reliability had been observed for the heaving mode.

Reliability Analysis for Hazard and Operability Studies
Fault tree analysis is used as a tool within hazard and operability (Hazop) studies. The present study proposes a new methodology for obtaining the exact TOP event probability of coherent fault trees. The technique uses a top-down approach similar to that of FATRAM. This new Fault Tree Disjoint …

Reliability Analysis of Redundant Ductile Structural Systems
Because the information concerning loads and resistance capacities invariably contains uncertainty, the safety of a structure may be measured realistically in terms of the probability of failure. The purpose of this study is to develop a practical method for determining the point estimate of the …

Reliability analysis of single-headed anchor bolts
… welded studs were analyzed. Then, based on the analysis of these data and statistical information on basic design variables, a reliability analysis was performed. Using the advanced first-order second-moment reliability analysis method, risk levels implied in these design equations were computed …

Response Surface Method for Time-Variant Reliability Analysis
… approximate method for computing the structural reliability of uncertain systems subjected to time-varying loads is presented in this study. The method uses response surface methodology and the fast integration scheme developed by Wen and Chen (1987). The mean and coefficient of variation of the …
