System Reliability Models for Bridges *
There is a need for efficient bridge evaluation procedures. A considerable number of existing bridges in the United States require repair and/or replacement. Accurate estimate of the current strength and the remaining life time is essential for optimum distribution of the available limited resources. The major parameters which determine the structural performance are random variables. Statistic...
متن کاملFuzzy Reliability Optimization Models for Redundant Systems
In this paper, a special class of redundancy optimization problem with fuzzy random variables is presented. In this model, fuzzy random lifetimes are considered as basic parameters and the Er-expected of system lifetime is used as a major type of system performance. Then a redundancy optimization problem is formulated as a binary integer programming model. Furthermore, illustrative numerical ex...
متن کاملReliability Analysis: System Models
Reliability analysis is a design-time activity. The goal is to anticipate problems and suggest product improvements before manufacturing and delivery. Enhanced quality and customer satisfaction along with reduced life-cycle costs are the motivation. Analysts employ models of physical systems to determine points of vulnerability and failure probabilities. Unfortunately, the models of complex sys...
متن کاملRepair Optimization of Highway Bridges Using System Reliability Approach
As reliability based methods gain increased acceptance, there is greater opportunity to use scarce resources more efficiently while maintaining a prescribed level of reliability of a structure throughout its service life. The goal is to provide management decisions that will balance lifetime system reliability and expected lifecycle cost in an optimal manner. This study proposes a system reliab...
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 ...
