Reliability and Optimization of Structural Systems


Add your own review!

Overview

This volume is drawn from the proceedings of the Working Conference on Reliability and Optimization of Structural Systems. Selected contributions from expert authors focus on the reliability and optimization of structural and infrastructural systems. The chapters examine probabilistic strength and load modeling, lifecycle reliability, damage accumulation, and issues related to health monitoring and inspection. The book also reviews applications, discusses structural safety, and includes material on special structures such as bridges, wind turbines, and offshore structures.
