Abstract

ABSTRACT
This paper presents a practical approach for evaluating the effect of uncertainty in
design variables on the behaviour of structure. The proposed approach shows how
Monte Carlo simulations can be effectively used to evaluate the uncertainty effects.
A case study of a structure under static loading has been used to demonstrate the
approach. The results have shown that using the proposed approach can serve as a
practical tool for virtual testing of structure designs. This will help the designer in
estimating and understanding the complicated and unforeseen uncertainty effects on
structure design performance.
