A Non-Probabilistic Model for Structural Reliability Analysis

Xin Zhou Qiao, Yuan Qiu

Abstract

By representing uncertain parameters as interval variables, a novel structural non-probabilistic reliability model is proposed, which can deal with the case that the domain constructed by the basic interval variables locates in the safe domain. Two numerical examples are conducted to illustrate the validity and feasibility of the proposed non-probabilistic model.
