Fundamentals of Structural Reliability Theory
One of the principle objectives of structural design is the assurance of structural performance, including safety, within the economical constraint. This chapter introduces the basic concepts of structural reliability including some terms such as performance function, failure probability, and reliability index through a fundamental performance function of only two random variables, i.e. a load effect variable S and a resistance variable R. Since the accurate integration for failure probability is almost impossible for practical engineering problems, the Monte Carlo simulation (MCS) is introduced. In more common practice of structural reliability analysis, MCS is simply used to estimate the probability of failure. The chapter provides a brief review on structural reliability theory, from which the framework of the methods of moment‐based theory of this book is illustrated.
