Guedes Soares, C. and Garbatov, Y. (2002), “Reliability of Deteriorated Steel Structures”, AMAS Course on Reliability-Based Optimization (RBO'02), 23-25 September, Warsaw, Poland

The paper reviews recent results on the reliability of deteriorated structures subjected to corrosion and fatigue. The models to quantify the effect of inspection and maintenance repair work on the structural reliability are discussed too. First the reliability assessment of corroded plate and pipelines is presented. Then a fatigue reliability assessment of maintained structures is presented. Finally numerical examples of failure behaviour and reliability analyses are also shown.
