Evaluation of Design Reliability of Apron-Slab Stabilization Based on Incomplete Parameter Information on Design Models

  • Published:
Power Technology and Engineering Aims and scope

A procedure for reliability evaluation of apron-slab stabilization with incomplete information on the loads and parameters of design models, which is based on use of possibility theory, is presented. The interval estimates obtained for the reliability of an individual slab and system of slabs are compared with probability estimates.
