Abstract

This paper briefly reviewed the principles and development of structural design theories, and summarized the current research of structural reliability theories. Meanwhile, various applicable methods of reliability theories were finely described and analyzed, with the latest progress in structural reliability analysis and reliability-based design optimization outlined. Additionally, the uncertainty propagation methods and reliability assessment methods were analyzed, and the development trend of structural reliability was summarized, which can provide a summary and reference for future researchers to study structural reliability.
