APPLICATION OF STRUCTURAL RELIABILITY THEORY TO SHIP LONGITUDINAL STRENGTH

Structural reliability theory and full probabilistic Level 1 and Level 2 methods for checking the safety of structures are reviewed and discussed in this paper. For the purpose of practical application and making full use of available information, special attention is given to Level 2 methods. How to establish a probabilistic model for load-effect and resistance of hull girder, and how to use the approach for computing the yield failure mode of ship longitudinal bending are briefly explained. Finally, the author emphasises the importance of developing a new ship structural design code based on reliability theory and recommends some further investigations in this field.
