This paper develops a Stochastic Practical Advanced Analysis Program for stochastic analysis of structural steel frames by combining the second-order refined plastic-hinge analysis method with the simulation of Latin Hypercube Sampling. The program predicts the ultimate load-carrying capacity of steel frames and investigates the sensitivity of uncertain input parameters. The results can be used in steel structure design and maintenance in practice.
This paper develops a Stochastic Practical Advanced Analysis Program for stochastic analysis of structural steel frames. The second-order refined plastic-hinge analysis method combined with the technical simulation of Latin Hypercube Sampling is developed to predict the actual ultimate load-carrying capacity of steel frames and investigate the sensitivity of the uncertain input parameters. The input parameters of material properties, geometrical characteristics, and load combinations are considered as independent random variables that may occur in simultaneous randomness. A proposed parallel analytical technique integrates the modified Newton-Raphson and Generalized Displacement Control algorithms to solve the nonlinear inelastic problems to esti -mate the critical displacement-based system reliability index. The results of the statistical analysis in terms of coefficients of variation and Pearson correlation index show that the yield strength of material is the most sensitive with respect to the behavior of steel frames. The Bayesian Model Averaging is employed to find the most influential structural components on the ultimate structural resistance. The useful results of this research may be used in steel structure design and maintenance in practice.
