Course content
- structural resistance and load action as two independent random variables, limit states - reliability reserve - failure probability, reliability index - approximation techniques (Cornell reliability index, Hasofer-Lind index / FORM, SORM) - simulation method (Monte Carlo, LHS, Importance Sampling) - the introduction of statistical dependence - sensitivity analysis - reliability Systems - methods to include probabilistic aspects in standards for structural design - software tools for solving problems of reliability of structures - durability of structures - introduction to Risk Engineering - Weibull damage theory - random fields - stochastic finite element method

Learning activities and teaching methods
unspecified, Work-related activities
Learning outcomes
Students will gain basic knowledge of the reliability of structures. They will understand the nature of the following areas: structural resistance and load action as two independent random variables, reserve of reliability, failure probability, reliability index, approximation techniques (Cornell reliability index, Hasofer-Lind index/FORM, SORM) and simulation methods (Monte Carlo, LHS, importance Sampling) to determine the probability of failure, sensitivity analysis, the method including probabilistic aspects in standards, software tools for solving problems of reliability of structures.
Students will gain basic knowledge of the reliability of structures and will be able to apply them in the design of structures.
Prerequisites
Knowledge of probability and statistics, structural mechanics/elasticity, design of structures.

Assessment methods and criteria
Oral examination, Written examination

To obtain the course credit, the student works out an individual project that will be presenting at the end of the semester. The exam consists of written and oral parts.
