Probabilistic Modelling of the Strength of Flat Compression Members

  • Chapter
Probabilistic Methods for Structural Design

Part of the book series: Solid Mechanics and Its Applications ((SMIA,volume 56))

Abstract

The structural components that are subjected to compressive forces are often critical elements in many structures. This is even more important if one has in mind that compressive failure is followed by a decrease in load carrying capacity which will overload adjacent structural components, being bound to precipitate an overall failure of the structure.
