Reducing the cost of calculation without compromising the accuracy of the solution is a
recognized challenge for optimizing the reliability analysis, which became possible using …

The slenderness limits in ACI 318 and ACI 440 are based on a deterministic method of
defining slender columns as columns whose second-order capacity is lower than 5% of their …

In active learning Kriging (AK) reliability-based analysis, a surrogate model is trained in a
stepwise manner and used to evaluate the reliability of the desired system by reducing the …

The design provisions for internal glass fiber-reinforced polymer (GFRP) reinforced concrete
(RC) columns have been recently under consideration by design committees in Canada and …

Reliability analysis is frequently used in structural engineering for the calibration of load and
