Avdelning: Structural Engineering
Kurstyp: Ren forskarutbildningskurs
Undervisningsspråk: English
The purpose with the course is to present a systematic, statistical methodology to analyse and handle safety problems in structural engineering. Such a methodology has been developed during the last 30 years in the field of Structural Reliability, which nowadays is widely employed in advanced civil and mechanical engineering applications. Even if the course will focus on Structural Reliability, the general methodology is applicable for a large variety of other engineering problems which can be described by mathematical models.

The course includes • Fundamentals in probability theory • Reliability assessment and uncertainties • Solution methods for the generalised reliability problem • Reliability of structural systems • Time dependent reliability • Modelling of loads and load effects • Resistance modelling • Code calibration • Evaluation of existing structures The course presents a systematic, statistical methodology to analyze and evaluate uncertainties related to safety and performance in structural engineering applications, as support for design with respect to load bearing capacity, deflections, vibration and durability.
Undervisningsformer: Föreläsningar, övningar, projekt. The course is based on lectures, exercises and a major project assignment. The student can choose application area in the project assignment according to interest. Special computer software for reliability analysis is used in the course.
Examinationsformer: Skriftlig tentamen, skriftlig rapport.
The examination is based on a written exam together with evaluation of the report from the project assignment.
