Guedes Soares, C. (1996), “Probabilistic Models for the Assessment of Ship Structural Reliability", Reliability and Optimisation of Structural Systems, Frangopol, D.M., Corotis, R.B. and Rackwitz, R. (Eds.), Pergamon, pp. 33-48
This paper reviews some of the work that has been performed on the probabilistic models adopted to describe the basic variables that are required for the reliability assessments of ship structures. This work concentrates on the ultimate collapse situation, which is the one associated with the design of the primary structure of ships. The review will start by referring the type of reliability formulations that are presently in use, because the probabilistic models are developed in connection with the formulation to be incorporated in. Then it discusses the probability models of the still-water loads, of the wave-induced loads and of load combination. Finally it deals with the probabilistic models of plate and hull collapse.
