It is very important to determine a target probability of failure in reliability based design such as an allowable factor of safety in working stress design because they are indices to judge the stability of structures. We have carried out reliability analyses of nationwide gravity type quay walls and found that sliding and foundation failures of quay walls were dominant failure modes for every case of loads. And a target probability of failure for bearing capacity of foundation of quay wall was also determined in this study. Of several approaches which have been suggested until now, a couple of reasonable approaches were used. Firstly, in order to consider the safety margin of structures which have been executed so far, the reliability levels of existing structures were assessed. And then a mean probability of failure for the quay walls was estimated. In addition, life cycle cost(LCC) analyses for representative structures were performed. Probabilities of failure for several quay walls were calculated with changing the width of each quay wall section. LCC of quay wall which is requiring case by case during the service life was evaluated, and also the optimum probability of failure of quay wall which minimizes LCC was found. Finally, reasonable target probabilities of failure were suggested by comparing with mean probability of failure of existing structures.

Manned aircraft structural design is based on structural safety factor of 1.5, and this safety factor is equivalent to a probability of failure of between 10-2 and 10-3. The target failure probability of FARs is between 10-6 and 10-9 per flight according to aircraft type. NATO released STANAG 4703 to established the airworthiness requirements for small UAV which is less than 150kg. STANAG 4703 requires the Target Level of Safety according to MTOW. The requirements of failure probability for small UAV is between 10-4 and 10-5. In this paper, requirements of airworthiness certification for small UAV were investigated and the relationship of safety factors to the probability of structural failure is analyzed to reduce measure of safety factor and structural weight of unmanned aircraft.

혼성제 케이슨의 활동파괴모드에 대한 목표파괴수준에 따른 저항 및 하중 그리고 신뢰함수의 부분안 전계수를 산정하였다. 이를 위해 파력의 편이를 고려한 혼성제 케이슨의 활동파괴모드에 대한 신뢰함수를 수립하 고, 관련 확률변수의 불확실성에 대해 분석하였다. Level II AFDA 해석법을 이용하여 여러 수심조건 및 단면조건 그리고 파랑조건에 대해 신뢰성 해석을 수행하였다. 특히 대산항, 동해항 그리고 포항항의 실제 혼성제 케이슨의 활동파괴에 대한 신뢰성 해석도 수행하였다. 마지막으로 목표수준에 따른 혼성제 케이슨의 최소 소요 폭을산정하는 방법으로 본 연구에서 산정된 부분안전계수에 대한 비교 평가를 실시하였다. 비교 결과, 목표수준 1%에서는 약간의 차이를 보이고 있으나 다른 모든 수준에서는 비교적 잘 일치하고 있다.

Reliability and sensitivity analysis of the design parameters for a section of caisson type quaywall which is the most applicable in Korea were performed. It was tried to estimate probabilities of failure for the system of the multiple failure modes and to analyze LCC in the quaywall structure. The reliability analysis was performed by FORM. Also, sensitivity indices were estimated using the reliability indices, which may be used inferring effects of each design parameter on the reliability indices. As a result, the coefficient of friction between caisson and rubble, the moment by self weight and the moment of resistance mostly affected on the reliability indices in the sliding, overturning and foundation failure, respectively. System reliability theorem was applied in order to estimate the probabilities of failure for the system of the multiple failure modes. As the results of estimation of the probabilities of failure for the system, all cases were more conservative than those for the elements, according to both failure mode and load combination applied to series system. It entirely exceeded the target reliability index, but it was consistent with the theorem. According to the optimum LCC with the width of the caisson, the probability of failure exceeded the target probability of failure at then time. Therefore, it was judged to be insufficient to the practical application.

방파제는 인명 피해의 우려가 적은 구조물이기 때문에 주로 비용 최적화를 고려하여 설계한다. 하지만 대부분의 국내 방파제는 비용최적설계를 고려하지 않았다. 본 연구에서는 비용최적설계를 국내의 경사식 방파제에 적용하여 최적설계중량과 목표파괴확률 그리고 부분안전계수를 산정하였다. 사용한 방법은 PIANC Working Group 47의 Hans F. Burcharth and John D. Sorensen에 의해 개발된 것이다. 최적재현기간은 많은 경우에 50년으로 계산되었고 실질이자율이 높을 경우에 100년으로도 계산되었다. 최적재현기간에 해당하는 파괴확률과 기존 구조물의 신뢰성 해석에서 얻은 파괴확률을 사용하여 목표파괴확률을 제안하였다. 국내 설계기준인 초기한계상태의 최종적인 목표파괴확률은 약 60%이며 이에 상응하는 전체안전계수는 1.09이다. 이는 현행 설계법보다 9% 큰 공칭직경과 30% 큰 설계중량을 요구한다. 또한 비용최적설계를 고려한 부분안전계수를 산정하여 비용을 고려하지 않는 Level 2의 부분안전계수와 비교하였고 목표파괴확률이 40% 미만일 때 두 방법이 비교적 잘 일치함을 보였다.

지중 구조물의 한계상태설계를 위한 설계 기준이 해외에서는 이미 발표된 바 있고 국내에서도 설계법 개정을 위한 연구가 수행되고 있다. 지진 시 파괴확률을 추정하기 위해서는 신뢰성 분석에서 확률변수를 고려해야 한다. 본 연구에서는 국내 지반 확률 특성치를 고려한 토압에 대한 변동계수와 지진하중 효과에 대한 변동계수를 적용하여 기존 쉴드 터널 설계 단면에 대한 지진 시 파괴확률을 계산하였다. 산정된 파괴확률로부터 신뢰도지수(β)를 산정하고 하중 계수의 변화에 따른 신뢰도지수를 분석한 결과와 국내외 연구결과를 토대로 쉴드 터널 세그먼트 라이닝의 지진 시 목표 신뢰도지수(β_T)는 2.3이 합리적인 것으로 분석되어, 지진 시 한계상태설계를 위한 목표 신뢰도 지수로 제안하였다.

In this paper, the reliability estimation of pipelines is performed by employing the probabilistic method, which accounts for the uncertainties in the load and resistance parameters of the limit state function. The FORM (first order reliability method) and the SORM (second order reliability method) are carried out to estimate the failure probability of pipeline utilizing the FAD (failure assessment diagram). And the reliability of pipeline is assessed by using this failure probability and analyzed in accordance with a target safety level. Furthermore, the MCS (Monte Carlo Simulation) is used to verify the results of the FORM and the SORM. It is noted that the failure probability increases with the increase of dent depth, gouge depth, operating pressure, outside radius, and the decrease of wall thickness. It is found that the FORM utilizing the FAD is a useful and is an efficient method to estimate the failure probability in the reliability assessment of a pipeline. Furthermore, the pipeline safety assessment technique with the deterministic procedure utilizing the FAD only is turned out more conservative than those obtained by using the probability theory together with the FAD. The probabilistic method such as the FORM, the SORM and the MCS can be used by most plant designers regarding the operating condition and design parameters.

Cost-effectiveness in design is considered for determining the target reliability of concrete bridges under seismic actions. This objective can be achieved based on the economic optimization of the expected life-cycle cost of a bridge, which includes initial cost, direct losses, and indirect losses of a bridge due to strong earthquakes over its lifetime. A separating factor is defined to consider the redundancy of a transportation network. The Park-Ang damage model is employed to define the damage of a bridge under seismic action, and a Monte Carlo method based on the DRAIN-2DX program is developed to assess the failure probability of a bridge. The results for an example bridge analyzed in this paper show that the optimal target failure probability depends on the traffic volume carried by the bridge and is between 1.0×10/sup -3/ to 3.0×10/sup -3/ over a life of 50 years.

It is quite difficult to calculate the collapse probability of a system such as statically indeterminate structure that has many possible modes or paths to complete failure and the problem has remained essentially unsolved. A structure is synthesized by several components or elements and its capacity to resist the given loads is a function of the capacity of the individual element. Thus it is reasonable to assess the probability of failure of the system based upon those of its elements. This paper proposes an efficient technique to directly assess the reliability of a complex structural system from the reliabilities of its components or elements. The theory for the calculation of the probability of a structural system is presented. The target requirements of the method and the fundamental assumptions governing the method are clearly stated. A portal frame and two trusses are selected to demonstrate the efficiency of the method by comparing the results obtained from the proposed method to those from the existing methods in the literature.

A system reliability method is proposed to decide reliable serviceability of agricultural irrigation system. Even though reliability method is applied to real engineering situations involving actual life environments and maintaining costs, a number of Issues arise as a modeling and analysis level. This article use concepts that can be described the probability of failure with time variant and series-parallel system reliability analysis model. A proposed method use survivor function that can simulate a time-variant performance function for a lifetime before it is required essential maintenance or replacement to define a target probability of failure in agricultural irrigation canal. In the further study, it is required a relationship between a state of probability of failure and current serviceability to make the optimum repair strategy to maintain appropriate serviceability of an irrigation system.
