Evaluation of the reliability of the top displacement of a space steel frame under the effect of wind load

Abstract

Structural reliability studies the evaluation of the performance of structures and equipment under the influence of random factors based on probability theory. For important buildings, reliability theory is applied in design to cover all risks. In the civil engineering industry, steel structures are increasingly popular due to their outstanding advantages. This report focuses on evaluating the reliability of the top displacement of a seven-story steel space frame subjected to wind loads, with random factors including material properties, cross-sectional dimensions, and loads. The research results contribute to clarifying the importance of using realistic models in reliability studies.
