The consideration of imprecise probability in engineering analysis to account for missing,
vague or incomplete data in the description of model uncertainties is a fast-growing field of …

This article presents a brief survey on some of the latest developments in the area of
reliability-based design optimization of structural systems under stochastic excitation. The …

The safety of structural systems depends on social, political, financial, organizational,
behavioral, and other non-structural factors. These factors are related to use of the structure …

This paper reports the Reliability-Based Design Optimization (RBDO) of post-tensioned self-
centering rocking steel frame structures with buckling-restrained bracing systems. The …

This paper presents a novel decoupling approach to efficiently solve a class of reliability-
based design optimization (RBDO) problems by means of augmented Line Sampling. The …

The optimization design of a ground source heat pump (GSHP) system can be crucial in
improving its performance and economic competitiveness. The effect of probabilistic …

An efficient framework is proposed for reliability-based design optimization (RBDO) of
structural systems. The RBDO problem is expressed in terms of the minimization of the …

This paper presents a highly efficient and effective approach to bound the responses and
probability of failure of linear systems where the model parameters are subjected to …

As the core foundation of reliability engineering and one of the most crucial aspects of
general quality, reliability has been attracting increasing attention from industry and …

For an economical and safe design of building systems with concentrically braced frames,
the layout of the braces should be done by considering all limitations. The current study …
