Reliability analysis of two-dimensional series portal-framed bridge system based on mixed copula functions

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingChapterpeer-review

Abstract

In this paper, several commonly-used Elliptical copulas and Archimedean copulas were introduced, and their application in the correlation analysis were also described in detal. For the two failure modes of two-dimensional series portal-framed bridge system, the performance function values with respect to the failure modes were considered as the analysis variables of the chosen copula functions, and the Baysian copula selection method was applied to select the proper copula functions. And then, the two-dimension mixed copula function was built. Thereinto, the uncertain parameters of copula function were determined with Monte Carlo Sampling (MCS) method, so the numerical modeling of the mixed copula fuction about the failure mode of two-dimensional series portal-framed bridge system was achieved. Finally the reliability of this system was analyzed with the built mixed copula function, and the structural system failure probability was obtained.
