Abstract

Non-probabilistic models for structural reliability, which are based on interval analysis, are much less demanding in data when compared with probabilistic reliability models and fuzzy reliability models. Therefore, study of non-probabilistic models for structural reliability becomes more and more significant in practical projects. Theory of non-probabilistic models for structural reliability was well developed and improved in recent years. The existing four main non-probabilistic models for structural reliability were reviewed. With regard to the linear performance function, comparison and summary were made in aspects of measurement principle, physical significance of indicators, scope of application and result accuracy. As for the nonlinear performance function, the four models’ feasibility was discussed. Hence, a more comprehensive and thorough understanding of non-probabilistic models for structural reliability is achieved a theoretical base for choice of non-probabilistic models in practical projects provided.
