title = "Reliability analysis of steel frames",
abstract = "The assessment of the reliability of steel frame structures has been considered in the literature. However, in general the assessment does not consider the fact that the loads acting on a structural system do not occur simultaneously. That is, the extreme live or environmental loads are applied to a structural system after the permanent load is already present. This may affect the estimated system reliability since the ultimate load carrying capacity of a structure system is load path dependent. In this paper, assessment of reliability of steel frames is carried out by considering simultaneous and sequential occurrence of permanent and extreme live or environmental loads. For the reliability analysis, the limit state function is defined using the so-called load factor, which is calculated by using an incremental loading procedure. The analysis incorporates both geometric and material nonlinearity. Simulation techniques are employed for estimating the failure probability of the frame. Comparison is made between the reliability of steel frames under proportional loading and sequential loading conditions.",
