Reliability analysis and trade-offs between safety cost with insufficient data represent an inevitable problem during the early stage of structural design. In this paper, efficient uncertainty theory-based reliability a design method are proposed under epistemic uncertainty. The factors influencing structure regarded as uncertain variables. Based on this, new metric termed measure is employed t...

A unified and comprehensive treatment of shape sensitivity that includes variations in the nodal coordinates, member cross-section properties, and global shape parameters of inelastic frame structures is presented. A novelty is the consideration of geometric uncertainty in both the displacementand force-based finite element formulations of nonlinear beam-column behavior. The shape sensitivity e...

-A hybrid model of a probabilistic and non-probabilistic reliability theory is developed to predict the structural reliability when the probabilistic characteristics parameters of structural properties are imprecisely known. In this study, these parameters are described by appropriate ellipsoid. Interval of the structural reliability will be sought, i.e. estimating the worst possible reliabilit...

This work is dedicated to constructing a multi-scale structural health monitoring system to monitor and evaluate the serviceability of bridges based on the Hadoop Ecosystem (MS-SHM-Hadoop). By taking the advantages of the fault-tolerant distributed file system called the Hadoop Distributed File System (HDFS) and high-performance parallel data processing engine called MapReduce programming parad...
