Abstract

Uncertainties are a central element in structural analysis and design. But even today they are frequently dealt with in an intuitive or qualitative way only. However, as already suggested 80 years ago, these uncertainties may be quantified by statistical and stochastic procedures. This contribution attempts to shed light on some of the recent advances in the now established field of stochastic structural mechanics and also solicit ideas on possible future developments.
