Abstract
The paper presents a method for the reliability analysis of continuous beams. Both the material and geometric parameters are taken as probabilistic. Initially a parametric study is carried out in the case of deterministic analysis to establish the hierarchy of the variables before undertaking the probabilistic analysis. Based upon the probabilistic analysis, the frequency distribution of different variables, such as rotations, end moments and reactions is presented for a particular problem. The study revealed that the variation of the generated set from its mean value is maximum in the case of rotations, followed by moment of inertia, end moments and reactions.
