Abstract: | Reliability-based design optimization (RBDO) aims to find the best compromise between cost reduction and safety assurance. Traditionally, component optimization is defined by minimizing the structural cost under a prescribed reliability target for a single limit state. However, as structural failure is rarely devoted to only one component, the system approach becomes necessary to deal with realistic applications. In this paper, a methodology for system reliability-based design optimization (SRBDO) is proposed. Instead of specifying identical predefined component targets, the method is based on adaptive target reliabilities for structural components. An updating procedure is included in the optimization process to ensure the required system reliability. The proposed method aims to find the best compromise between satisfying the target system reliability and optimizing the component performance. The application to reinforced concrete structures shows the interest of the adaptive target reliabilities as well as the efficiency of the updating procedure. |
