Summary: | In recent years, researchers have been proposed various analytical methods to calculate the structural reliability. However, a series of low stress brittle fracture accidents occurred in steel structure, the brittle failure of steel members cannot be ignored. The analytical method of a steel structure with potentially brittle steel members was developed. The brittle failure of a steel members is represented by the brittle failure probability. However, the calculating method of brittle failure probability is still not clear. In order to evaluate structural reliability, the brittle failure probability should be more accurate. In this paper, a method was applied to calculate the brittle failure probability of steel members.
