Abstract

The constitutive equation and carrying capacity of structure will change over time under high temperature conditions. The traditional structural reliability models are inefficient to solve these time-varying structural reliability problems. A time-varying response surface method with thermal response and response threshold value changing over time was proposed. The method can be used for high-temperature structural reliability analysis. Combined with Box-Behnken experimental design, a cross quadratic function of structure's basic variables and time was introduced for establishing a time-varying model of the thermal structural response. The function of structural response threshold value and time was established by using temperature as intermediate variable. The time-varying structural reliability calculation method was proposed when basic variables are normally distributed. A study case was given to demonstrate the applicability of this method and its greatly enhanced effectiveness besides accuracy.
