Using DOProC Method in Structural Reliability Assessment

Abstract:

Reliability of load-carrying structures has been assessed by various calculation procedures based on probability theory and mathematic statistics, which have been becoming more and more popular. The calculation procedures are well-suited for the design of elements in load-carrying structures with the required level of reliability if at least some input parameters are random and contribute to a qualitatively higher level of the reliability assessment and, in turn, higher safety of those who use the buildings and facilities. This paper discusses application of the original and new probabilistic methods – the Direct Optimized Probabilistic Calculation (“DOProC”), which uses a purely numerical approach without any simulation techniques. This provides more accurate solutions to probabilistic tasks, and, in some cases, to considerably faster completion of computations.
