Structural Reliability Assessment using a Direct Determined Probabilistic Calculation

The Direct Determined Fully Probabilistic Method ("DDFPM") is newly developed probabilistic numerical calculation usable especially in the assessment of structural reliability. The random input variables (such as the load, geometry, material properties, or imperfections) can be expressed by means of histograms with parametric and non-parametric distribution created from sets of random quantities that have been measured or observed.
