Probability density evolution method and its application in life-cycle civil engineering
A family of generalised probability density evolution equations (GPDEE) have been developed in recent years based on the principle of preservation of probability incorporated with uncoupled physical equations, which take advantages over classical probability density evolution equations. With the aid of the GPDEE, the time-dependent analysis of a life-cycle engineering system is further investigated. The basic probability density evolution equation for nonlinear static analysis of structures and for time-dependent analysis is presented, respectively. By these new developments, the time-dependent reliability of a life-cycle engineering system, involving deterioration of materials, degradation of components and the rehabilitation or maintenance process, could be approached in a unified framework. Numerical investigations show an effective application to a life-cycle engineering system, which also, as indicated, provides a potential tool for reliability-based or risk-based decision-making for life-cycle civil engineering in the long run.
