Reliability assessment of frame steel considering semi-rigid connections

Abstract

Initial stiffness and moment resistance are two parameters that formed the hardness of the connection between columns and beams. This problem has been studied based on empirical of many authors in the world. In this research been used initial stiffness and moment resistance models the proposed model of Aleksander K., for reliability assessment of frame steel under the internal force of semi-rigid joints when random input parameters. A stochastic model for the design of frame steel considering semi-rigid and Monte Carlo reliability analysis. This program is written by using the Matlab programming language. Then, various numerical tests are performed to illustrate the studied method.
