Abstract
En 中文
The reliability-based design optimization (RBDO) has been widely recognized as a powerful optimization tool under probabilistic constraints, through appropriate modeling of uncertainties. However, the drawback of RBDO is that it does not reflect the ability of the structure to comply with large data variations, unforeseen actions or deterioration mechanisms. On the other hand, the robust design optimization (RDO) reduces the variability of the structural performance, in addition to its mean level. However, RDO does not take direct advantage of the interaction between controllable (product design values) and noise variables (environmental random values), and the obtained results do not accurately indicate what parameter has the highest effect on the performance characteristics. The purpose of this paper is to propose a robust formulation for reliability-based design optimization (RRBDO) that combines the advantages of both optimization procedures and overcomes their weaknesses. The optimization model proposed overcomes the limitations of the existing models without compromising the reliability level, by considering a robust convex objective function and a performance variation constraint. The proposed formulation can consider the total cost of structures and can control structural parameter variations. It takes into account uncertainty and variability in the same mathematical formulation. A numerical solution procedure is also developed, for which results are analyzed and compared with RBDO for several examples of concrete and steel structures.
