Adaptive Kriging-based method with learning function allocation scheme and hybrid convergence criterion for efficient structural reliability analysis

TL;DR: In this article, a fundamental analysis of the meaning of second-moment reliability in multivariate problems is presented, and the format described is entirely derived from one basic assumption concerning the measurement of reliability.

TL;DR: Partial Safety Factor Method Probabilistic Information Simple Reliability Index Geometricreliability Index Generalized Reliability index Transformation Sensitivity Analysis Monte Carlo Methods Load Combinations Statistical and Model Uncertainty Decision Philosophy Reliability of Existing Structures System Reliability Analysis.

TL;DR: In this article, a set simulation approach is proposed to compute small failure probabilities encountered in reliability analysis of engineering systems, which can be expressed as a product of larger conditional failure probabilities by introducing intermediate failure events.

TL;DR: In this paper, an algorithm for the calculation of structural reliability under combined loading is formulated, in which loads or any other actions upon structures are modelled as independent random sequences and the relevant limit state criterion is pointwise approximated by a tangent hyperplane.
