Abstract
Uncertain disasters such as typhoons can affect buildings. Single-storey industrial building is an important type of factory building. In this paper, the reliability of a single storey industrial building under wind load is studied by taking one typical factory in Hunan, China as an example. Firstly, finite element method is used to analyse the structure in the range of linear elasticity. Then, based on Monte Carlo simulation, the probability of failure of the structure under wind load is obtained. The results show that the probability of damage is relatively small, which is also in line with the fact that inland areas are not easily affected by typhoons. In order to obtain a deeper understanding of its reliability, the structural fragility curve considering the variability of steel strength is also studied. The results showed that the smaller the variability of the steel, the more beneficial it is for the reliability of the structure.
