The Non-Probabilistic Reliability Analysis of Stayed-Cable Based on the Interval Algorithm

Abstract:

Based on the existing cable failure problems, two features of cable failure problems areput forward. The cablescannot be measured precisely and their characteristics cannot be predicted certainly. In order toanalyze the reliability of cables more reasonably, non-probabilistic reliability theory and its development status are introducedin this article. And the theory of modified one dimensional optimization algorithm is appliedto thereliability analysis of stayed-cable. Its results are comparedwith the results of the probabilistic reliability analysis of stayed-cable. Then the parameters analyses of cableare taken, as a result, the main factors that haveobviouslyinfluence on the reliability of the cable are presented in the article.
