Example: Ex#07. A steel cantilever beam of a rectangular cross section subjected to point load at its free end is considered. The limit state of serviceability for maximum deflection at the free end is defined by Eq. 3.1.1 where , , and are representing point load, length, modulus of elasticity and cross sectional moment of inertia of the beam respectively. , and are random variables following normal distribution whereas is deterministic and equal to 3.4133 108 mm4. The statistical properties are given as Table 4.7.1 Random Variable

Lecture 07: Subset Simulation (Continue ...) Ex#08. A steel cantilever beam of a rectangular cross section subjected to point load at its free end is considered. The limit state of section failure at the fixed end is defined by equation below = 1 2 3 where 1 , 2 , 3 and are representing yield strength, section modulus, point load and length of the beam, respectively. Out of all design variables, 1 , 2 and 3 are random variables whereas is deterministic and equal to 2 m. Three cases are considered where random variables are either following normal or lognormal distribution. The statistical properties are given as Table 4.7.2 Random Variable
