The correlation analysis of the independence between the behavioral influencing factors has been performed in order to find the non-independent factors. Among the Human Factors Analysis and Classification System (HFACS), the impact of the high-level factors on the bottom level is determined. This study uses empirical method, namely Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) to build the relationship mo...

Line sampling is a method for efficient estimation of the failure (or rare event) probability. The generates set samples on hyperplane perpendicular to an important direction that points towards domain, and estimates probability as sample mean one-dimensional integrals. performance strongly depends quality chosen direction. Recently, adaptive approach adjusting during simulation has been propos...

The present study presents an algorithm that models uncertainties at the structural component level to estimate the performance reliability of RC structures. The method calculates the performance reliability using a systemic approach and incorporates the improved response surface method based on sampling blocks using the first-order reliability method and conditional reliability indices. The re...
