Here the material, geometrical properties and external load applied to the structures are taken as uncertain. Uncertainties presents in the parameters are modelled through convex normalised fuzzy sets. Fuzzy finite element method converts the problem into fuzzy or fully fuzzy system of linear equations for static analysis. As such here, two new methods are proposed to solve the fuzzy and fully fuzzy system of linear equations. Numerical examples for structures with uncertain system parameters that are in term of triangular fuzzy number are presented to illustrate the computational aspects of the proposed methods. The results obtained are depicted in term of plots.
