| ABSTRACT This paper presents a practical approach for evaluating the effect of uncertainty in design variables on the behaviour of structure. The proposed approach shows how Monte Carlo simulations can be effectively used to evaluate the uncertainty effects. A case study of a structure under static loading has been used to demonstrate the approach. The results have shown that using the proposed approach can serve as a practical tool for virtual testing of structure designs. This will help the designer in estimating and understanding the complicated and unforeseen uncertainty effects on structure design performance. | ||
