Abstract: This paper reviews the methods for combining loads idealized as Poisson processes. Hasofer's method for combining a Poisson square wave load with a Poisson impulsive load is extended to the case of a combination of one ...

Abstract: The reliability of a short reinforced concrete (RC) column subject to various loads is assessed. The loads yield a two‐dimensional stress, axial force

Abstract: The stationary response of base-isolated buildings subjected to support motion is studied. The isolation device consists of a friction device, while the ground motion is assumed to be a stationary Gaussian white noise ...
