Active learning methods have recently surged in the literature due to their ability solve complex structural reliability problems within an affordable computational cost. These are designed by adaptively building inexpensive surrogate of original limit-state function. Examples such surrogates include Gaussian process models which been adopted many contributions, most popular ones being efficien...

Network reliability is the probability that a dynamical system composed of discrete elements interacting on a network will be found in a configuration that satisfies a particular property. We introduce a reliability property, Ising feasibility, for which the network reliability is the Ising model's partition function. As shown by Moore and Shannon, the network reliability can be separated into ...

A reliability-based method for inspection scheduling of steel bridges is proposed to yield the optimal (most economical) inspection strategy that meets an acceptable safety level through the planned service life. Two fatigue reliability formulations that can be applied for most details in steel bridges are presented. For details classified according to AASHTO fatigue categories, a limit state f...
