RSM Method in Probabilistic Analysis of the Foundation Plate

Many new approaches are currently used in the design and assessment of building structures. One of these approaches is the probabilistic analysis allowed by the European standards for the assessment of structural design. Input parameters are given as stochastic ones and they are characterized by different distribution types. During a probabilistic analysis, software executes multiple analysis loops to compute the random output parameters as functions of the set of random input variables. Uncertainties in input variables (load, material properties and dimensions structures) are reflected in the RSM method based on approximation of Monte Carlo simulations. Finally, some results of these probabilistic analyses are presented.
