System Reliability Analysis of Slender Network Arch Bridges
Abstract eng: In principle, the reliability of complex structural systems can be accurately predicted through Monte Carlo simulation. This method has several attractive features for structural system reliability, the most important being that the system failure criterion is usually relatively easy to check almost irrespective of the complexity of the system. However, the computational cost involved in the simulation may be prohibitive for highly reliable structural systems. Network arched bridges are in their design slender structures which by their efficient configuration can carry loads several times higher than for more traditional tie arched bridges with vertical hangers. These bridges are seen as an attractive structure due to their slenderness which also might make them vulnerable to global system buckling. The buckling reliability of network arch bridges are therefore investigated with emphasis on geometric uncertainties
