Abstract

This paper is concerned with the following two subjects: (1)The depth-first and the width-first branching rules are compared for selecting probabilistically significant failure paths in a redundant structure. (2)Some discrepancies between elasto-plastic and rigid-plastic structural models are discussed for generating failure mode equations.
