Abstract: | ▪ The datasheet aims at the reliability assessment of structures which are components
of significant constructions, e.g. bridges, power stations, historic valuable buildings
and life lines. For those structures, the reliability has to be quantified with the aid of
nonlinear structural analysis and uncertainty measures like the failure probability.
However, the uncertainty of the material parameters the geometry as well as of the
earthquake excitation results from aleatory and epistemic sources. In order to
consider both aleatory and epistemic uncertainty appropriately, the reliability is
assessed by means of the generalised uncertainty measure fuzzy failure probability
computed with a time-dependent fuzzy stochastic analysis. ▪ Fuzzy stochastic tools are proposed for structural analysis and reliability assessment. The uncertain character of both earthquake recording and structural system behaviour is considered within a response history procedure. |
