Structural Reliability
You will discover some advanced aspects of this field of study, as well as learning how to apply this knowledge by solving realistic problems.
You will:
- Combine analysis, probabilistics, and statistics when presenting data
- Learn about material, load and resistance properties
- Apply different methods of reliability analysis, including Monte-Carlo and FORM
- Analyse realistic structural reliability problems using structural mechanical principles
The course outline includes:
- Review of probability theory
- Statistical properties of structural materials, members and loads
- Structural reliability assessment for components and systems
- Integration and simulation methods
- Second-moment and transformation methods
- Codes and structural reliability
- Software application
Please register your interest with us and we will confirm any capacity restrictions associated with the course.
Learning Outcomes
On completion of this module, students will have:
- An understanding of the concept of structural reliability & its definitions in the context of structural engineering.
- Qualification & quantification of structural reliability-statistical measurements of material and structure uncertainty, risk assessment & acceptability.
- Computation of structural reliability using alternative methods as a function of the nature of the mathematical model associated with the problem.
- An appreciation of calibration and assessment methodologies applied to new & existing structures.
- Familiarisation with a software application.
