Abstract: In this study, one of the nonstatistical stochastic methods, i.e., the weighted integral method, is extended to analyze the semi-infinite domain. In the semi-infinite domain the region of uncertainties is vast when compared ...

Abstract: The inclusion of the higher order terms in the Taylor's series expansion of the status variable is presented in the formulation for stochastic analysis with the weighted integral method. Generally, in almost all the numerical ...

Abstract: In this paper, the response variability of a reinforced concrete cooling tower shell due to shape imperfections is investigated, based on statistical stochastic analysis. In general, shape imperfections are modeled as ideal ...
