Probabilistic reliability assesment of steel planar frames
Křivý, V. ; Marek, Pavel
In connection with the transition to a probabilistic reliability assessment of systems, it is necessary to evaluate the suitability of particular transformation models serving as tools for transforming the loading into the response of the structure to the load with regard to the substance of the stochastic method. In this connection attention is paid to the transition from the traditional assessment of buckling strength standards to the “strength stability concept” with respect to the effects corresponding to the second order theory.

Loading
Konečný, P. ; Marek, Pavel
The subject of the paper is a comment on the representation of loads in the structural reliability assessment method considering the transition from the current methods (such as the Partial factors method applied in Eurocodes and in AISC-ASCE code) to fully probabilistic reliability assessment methods (such as Simulation-Based Reliability Assessment Metod, SBRA, Probabilistic model code and others).

Windload in probabilistic reliability assessment method
Hanzlík, P. ; Marek, Pavel
The development of new approaches to structural reliability assessment leads to introduction of probabilistic methods. Application of these methods requires a new representation of loads and all other input quantities by non-parametric distributions as well as a non-traditional approach to the evaluation of reliability expressed by comparison of probability of failure and the target probability. The aim of this paper is to indicate a probabilistic approach to the reliability assessment of a structure exposed to combination of wind load (expressed by two-component wind rosette) and several other loads (expressed by single-component load duration curves).

Reference functions and values
Marek, Pavel
The current structural reliability assessment criteria (corresponding to the prescriptive Limit States Design concept such as Eurocode and AISC-LRFD) are expressed by comparing the specified maximum load effects and minimum specified resistance. In the qualitatively different gradually developed probabilistic reliability assessment procedures(applicable in codes) clear definitions of the „reference“ functions and values applied in the calculation of the probability of failure must be specified and adequate target probabilities must be given considering tolerable risk, economical requirements and some other measures.
