| Summary |
The primary purpose of this book is to introduce risk and reliability concept into structural design. The book will cover and review reliability theory and risk analysis to solve structural engineering problems. The book was formed from the easy to the difficult and complicated concepts. The content was written from the basic concepts of uncertainties, structural safety analysis, structural reliability under repeated load and fatigue reliability. Based on the introduction of failure modes and bounds theory, structural system reliability theory was subsequently discussed. Numerical formulation and examples will be provided to enhance the study efficiency of students, engineers and researchers. Once the numerical examples are understood, these applications to actual engineering examples will be clear. This book is suitable for adoption as a textbook or a reference book in a structural reliability analysis course. Furthermore, this book also provides a theoretical foundation for better understanding of the structural safety assessment. |
