On Calculation Of Failure Probability For Structures Designed Based On Magnitudes Of Historical Event, Farzad Noubary, Reza Noubary
Applications and Applied Mathematics: An International Journal (AAM)
During their operational life, structures may be subject to various types of live load caused by events such as earthquakes, high speed winds, etc. Given the design life of a structure, the probability for a specific live load to cause a failure depends on the magnitude of the load structure it is designed to withstand (designed load). In this article, methods are developed for calculation of the failure probability for structures designed to withstand loads comparable to historical loads at the site of interest.
