description abstract | The concept of safety factor is nearly universally applied in structural engineering. There are presently several approaches for probabilistic interpretation of the safety factors in the literature. Herein we generalize the above approaches to derive four possible definitions of safety factor that are based on fuzzy sets: (1) the central fuzzy safety factor is defined as the ratio of the centroid abscissas of the membership functions, respectively, of the capacity and the demand of the structure; (2) the characteristic value of fuzzy safety factor as the lower bound of the | |
