Abstract
This paper is devoted to the reliability assessment of civil engineering cable structures
subjected to various sources of environmental uncertainty as well as structural
imperfections. Such an analysis is extremely important considering nonlinear
character of their structural response, increasing statistical scattering of weather
phenomena, small cross-sections and large deformations as well as usually very
optimal character. This assessment has been completed using both the First Order
Reliability Method as well as the new apparatus based on the relative entropy
approach proposed in Bhattacharyya mathematical theory. Numerical experiment has been completed here using the 10th order iterative generalized Stochastic Finite Element Method in its displacement formulation.
