Application of fuzzy sets to structural reliability of existing structures
Assessing the safety of a structure through inspection has always been part of the practice of the structural engineer. Information obtained through these inspections can be both objective and subjective. One can update the reliability of an existing structure based on objective and subjective information through the fuzzified Bayes theorem. This paper cites the algorithm for computing the post...
متن کاملReliability Based Assessment of Existing Fixed Offshore Platforms Located in the Persian Gulf
This paper presents a detailed structural reliability procedure in order to achieve an acceptable safety margin for template type offshore platforms located in the Persian Gulf. Probability of failure in this study is calculated by considering the cumulative effects of all levels of wave loading during the lifetime of the structure and uncertainties associated with soil, material properties, co...
متن کاملAssessment of existing offshore structures for life extension
In decision making under uncertainty there are two main questions that need to be evaluated:i) What are the future consequences and associated uncertainties of an action, and ii) what isa good (or right) decision or action. Philosophically these issues are categorised as epistemicquestions (i.e. questions of knowledge) and ethical questions (i.e. questions of moral andnorms)...
متن کاملBayesian Updating in the Reliability Assessment of Maintained Floating Structures
The present paper adopts a Bayesian approach to update some of the parameters of the probability distributions governing the reliability assessment of maintained floating structures. It is based on a time dependent fatigue reliability formulation presented earlier but the description of the time to crack initiation, crack growth law and probability of crack detection are updated using the infor...
متن کاملOn Procedures for Reliability Assessment of Mechanical Systems and Structures
In this paper a brief overview of methods to assess the reliability of mechanical systems and structures is given. A selection of computational procedures, stochastic structural dynamics, stochastic fatigue crack growth, and reliability based optimization are discussed. It is shown that reliability based methods may form the basis for a rational decision making.
