Abstract

Advances in computer technology allow the use of powerful tools to study non-linear structural failure behaviour. In spite of that, reliability analysis of current reinforced structures is still made by using simplified rules and schemes. Considering the actual European design rules based on partial factors of safety, prescribed by Eurocode2 (EC2), the main objective of this paper is to evaluate the safety margin and the probability of failure associated to that kind of structures design. A non-linear Finite Element Method (FEM) computational code is used to evaluate structural response and the Latin Hypercube Sampling (LHS) simulation method, associated to Curve Fitting (CF) technique, supports structural failure behaviour analysis and probability of failure estimation. A set of selected examples were studied and confirmed the good performance of the proposed methodology.
