Example Ex # 01. A cantilever steel beam of span = 2 is subjected to a point load = 100 at the free end. For this section, resisting moment capacity is 1 2 . For collapse prevention condition limit state defined as below
() = 1 2
Random variables
S. No. 1 2
Solution. PDF for both the random variable is taken as Gaussian distribution. Figure 5.2.2 shows the distribution of 1 and similarly Figure 5.2.3 shows the distribution of 2 . In this problem response surface () is obtained by 3 iterations. For each iteration, value is calculated as shown in Table 5.2.2. In Figure 5.2.4, the original limit surface and limit surfaces of successive iteration are shown. From this figure it can be clear that after 3 iteration () is enough Course Instructor: Dr. Arunasis Chakraborty 1
Lecture 02: Example approximated to replace the original (). That can be concluded from Table 5.2.2. Here, value converge after 3 iterations. Table 5.2.2 value in each iteration

Lecture 02: Example Ex # 02. Case 1: A cantilever steel beam of span = is subjected to two randomly varying point load at the middle of the span and at the free end. Flexural rigidity of the beam is . kNm2. For the serviceability criteria, limit state would be as below 2 1

Solution: The joint PDF of the variables are shown in Figure 5.2.5. In this case also random variables are considered with Gaussian distribution. Figure 5.2.6 shows, by 2 successive iterations () is close enough to replace the original limit surface (). Also from Table 5.2.4 it can be observed that value has been converged.
