Abstract

Structural reliability analysis aims at computing the probability of failure of a structural system with respect to a prescribed failure criterion by accounting the uncertainties arising in the model description (geometry, material properties) or the environment (loading). When the behavior of the system under consideration evolves in time, the reliability problem is referred to as time variant. In general just mentioning a value for the reliability does not give any meaning without specifying the period of time for which it was derived.
