Fatigue Reliability Updating Evaluation of Hydraulic Steel Gate Based on Bayes Theorem

Article Preview

Abstract:

The main objective of this paper is aim to take fatigue reliability updating evaluation of hydraulic steel gate based on the Bayes theorem. The fatigue cracks can be detected for existing structures, and fatigue reliability assessment can be updated by the nondestructive inspection. In this paper, based on the probabilistic characteristics for NDI techniques and the Bayes theorem, a fatigue reliability updating assessment model for existing steel gate components is proposed. The results showed that the fatigue reliability will increase with no cracks detected, decrease with unknown cracks detected, and change remarkably with cracks detected.
