Abstract Among varieties of techniques to estimate structural reliability, directional simulation is well developed. This technique was first proposed to be used in standard Gaussian space where all random processes/variables are involved [1]. The main advantage of this procedure is that in each directional sample a closed form expression is available to estimate structural probability of failure conditioned on the sampled direction. The technique was then extended to a space in which all random variables/processes are involved, but they are not necessarily Gaussian [2,3]. Furthermore, Melchers [4] proposed this technique to be utilized in the load space rather than the space… More >
