Abstract: This paper studies the propagation of uncertainties on serviceability assessment of footbridges in unrestricted traffic condition based on a nondeterministic approach. Multipedestrian loading is modeled as a stationary ...

Abstract: Reliability assessment of linear discretized structures with interval parameters subjected to stationary Gaussian multicorrelated random excitation is addressed. The interval reliability function for the extreme value ...

Abstract: In the framework of stochastic analysis, the extreme response value of a structural system is completely described by its CDF. However, the CDF does not represent a direct design provision. A more meaningful parameter is ...

Abstract: Design processes involve several sources of uncertainties in loads and/or parameters that may seriously affect the estimates of performance and reliability of engineering systems. The selection of an appropriate mathematical ...

Abstract: The uncertain free vibration analysis of engineering structures with the consideration of nonstochastic spatially dependent uncertain parameters is investigated. A recently proposed concept of interval field is implemented ...
