Bridge Lifetime System Reliability under Multiple Limit States
A system reliability approach to minimizing the life-cycle cost of a deteriorating structure offers significant advantages such as a rational assessment of the assumed risk of failure, and an understanding of the importance and contribution of individual components to the overall reliability of the structure. The reliability of a structural system as a whole is the measure of its overall perfor...
متن کاملAnalyzing System Reliability Using Fuzzy Weibull Lifetime Distribution
Investigation of reliability characteristics under fuzzy environments is proposed in this paper. Fuzzy Weibull distribution and lifetimes of components are using it described. Formulas of a fuzzy reliability function, fuzzy hazard function and their α-cut set are presented. Furthermore, the fuzzy functions of series systems and parallel systems are discussed, respectively. Finally, some num...
متن کاملSystem reliability models for bridge structures
There is a growing need for a more accurate assessment of the load carrying capacity of highway bridges. The traditional approach is based on consideration of individual components rather than structures. Consequently, the acceptance criteria are formulated in terms of the allowable stress, or ultimate moment, in a component. However, it has been observed that the load carrying capacity of the ...
متن کاملBridge Deck Replacement for Minimum Expected Cost Under Multiple Reliability Constraints
The present paper investigates the effect of limit state selection ~strength versus serviceability! on bridge deck life-cycle costs and thus on optimal repair strategies. Such a comparison may then help determine whether safety or functionality ~or both! are important criteria when optimizing bridge life-cycle performance and costs. The structural element under consideration is a reinforced con...
