le Lecture: Methods of Structural Reliability Analysis The aim of the present lecture is to introduce the most common techniques of structural reliability analysis, namely, First Order Reliability Methods (FORM) and Monte-Carlo simulation. First the concept of limit state equations and basic random variables is introduced. Thereafter the problem of error propagation is considered and…

Pf = Jfx(x)dx (11.3) gmo where fx (x) is the joint probability density function of the random variables X . This integral is, however, non-trivial to solve and numerical approximations are expedient. Various methods for the solution of the integral in Equation (11.3) have been proposed including numerical integration techniques, Monte Carlo simulation and asymptotic…

where xo = (x,.0,x2.0,..,x„.o )7. is the point in which the linearization is performed normally chosen as the mean value point and of (x) = 1,2,..n are the first order partial derivatives ax,of f (x) taken in x = . From Equation (11.12) and Equation (11.6) it is seen that the expected value of the…
