Journal ArticleDOI
A new look at the response surface approach for reliability analysis
TL;DR: In this article, a polynomial approximation of actual limit states in the reliability analysis is used to reduce the number of analyses required by using closed-form mechanical models to predict the behavior of complex structural systems.
Journal ArticleDOI
Mitigating Risk from Abnormal Loads and Progressive Collapse
TL;DR: In this article, the authors provide a framework for addressing issues related to low probability/high consequence events in building practice, summarizes strategies for progressive collapse risk mitigation, and identifies challenges for implementing general provisions in national standards such as ASCE Standard 7, Minimum design loads for buildings and other structures.
Journal ArticleDOI
Probability Based Load Criteria: Load Factors and Load Combinations
TL;DR: This is the second of two papers that describe a study conducted to develop probability-based load factors and load combinations suitable for use with common construction materials and technologies.
Journal ArticleDOI
Fragility Assessment of Light-Frame Wood Construction Subjected to Wind and Earthquake Hazards
TL;DR: In this article, a fragility analysis methodology is developed for assessing the response of light-frame wood construction exposed to stipulated extreme windstorms and earthquakes, and limit states (structural and nonstructural) are identified from a review of the performance of residential construction during recent hurricanes and earthquakes in the United States.
Journal ArticleDOI
Reliability-Based Service-Life Assessment of Aging Concrete Structures
TL;DR: In this paper, the impact on safety and serviceability of reinforced or prestressed concrete structures is assessed qualitatively using structural reliability principles to evaluate time-dependent reliability of concrete structures.
