Features: This book discards the perturbation method random finite element method and focuses on reliability random finite element method. It includes topics such as variable transformation for non-normal variables, Latin hypercube sampling Monte Carlo method, FORM and SORM, discretization of stochastic fields, static and dynamic random finite element response gradient calculation, time-varying reliability of deteriorated structures, reliability of structural systems, and the random finite element software developed by the authors. The book reflects the latest advancements in reliability random finite element methods both domestically and internationally, including the research achievements of the authors such as linear regression discretization of stochastic fields, additional errors in reliability caused by non-normal variable transformation, point fitting and surface fitting SORM algorithms, time-varying reliability calculation for deteriorated structures, and optimizing bridge maintenance systems using pre-posterior decision analysis. The target readers of this book are engineers, teachers, and graduate students in the field of structural reliability.
