Sensitivity analysis of the design portal frames of steel industrial buildings

Abstract

This study presents aims at investigate and apply the sensitivity and reliability analysis methods to assess the reliability of a structural design according to the Vietnam standards design TCVN 5575:2012. Specifically, the sensitivity and reliability analysis of horizontal steel frame in one-story industrial building with crane is considered. The random factors that may occur during the design, fabrication, erection, and utilization stages are taken into account as much as possible. Then, the problem of number of results is analysed in order to obtain the reasonable design solution.
