  • Parametric uncertainties in reliability analysis of bridge structures

    Creator:
    Hamutcuoglu, Osman Murat
    Abstract:
    Probability-based reliability methods have placed an increased emphasis on realistic simulation of structural behavior in bridge engineering. Uncertainty is present in every aspect of structural analysis. Aleatory uncertainties in the loading and load-carrying capacities, and epistemic uncertainties in mathematical idealization of bridge systems are the major contributors to uncertain structural...

  • Analysis of moving loads using force-based finite elements

    Creator:
    Kidarsa, Adrian
    Abstract:
    An analysis method for moving loads computes the internal demand history in a structural member at integration points of force-based finite elements as opposed to the end forces of a refined displacement-based finite element mesh. The force-based formulation satisfies strong equilibrium of internal section forces with the element end forces...
