Description
Summary:The results of the evaluation of the reliability of reinforced concrete beams lying on an elastic foundation are presented. The load on the beam is considered as a non-stationary random function, the elastic properties of the foundation are described as a stationary random function. Beam stiffness is considered as a random variable depending on the cubic strength of concrete. To solve the beam bending equation on an elastic foundation with random properties and a loaded non-stationary random load, the small parameter method and the method of spectral representations are used. The obtained probability characteristics of the probability density distribution of bending moments allow us to find the probability of failure of a reinforced concrete beam on an elastic stochastically inhomogeneous foundation.
