Probabilistic Approach to Stability Analysis of a Reinforced Concrete Retaining Wall

Article Preview

Abstract:

Rapid development of computer technologies brings possibility to exploitpowerful computers for reliability analysis of (civil) engineering structuresunder consideration of random properties of various quantities influencingtheir resulting reliabilities. Aim of this paper is to outline possibility ofutilization of computer simulation Monte Carlo to predict reliability of areinforced concrete retaining wall from the viewpoint of possible loss ofstability. One of advantages of this approach is possibility to quantifyprobability of failure allowing structural optimization leading to design ofmore effective structures.
