Reliability Analysis of CFST Column by Form and Orthogonal Latin Hypercube Method

In this study, analysis of CFST column is done with the assistance of ABAQUS software. The models are analyzed in ABAQUS software to establish the failure loads for various length, thickness and slenderness ratio of CFST columns. The analytical values compared with codal provisions corresponding to ACI-318 and BS 5400 code. And graphs are plotted to know the distinction between analytical and codal values. The Reliability analysis is carried to know the design goals therefore on accomplish the normal load carrying capability with less deflection. The Reliability analysis is carried out with the assistance of 2R software and also the results corresponding to reliability index and probability of failure are measure tabulated for every CFST model. The reliability analysis is performed by FORM method. Simulation techniques specifically ORTHOGONAL HYPERCUBE technique is utilized in this work. The Taguchis approach is adopted to spot and decide the combination of parameters that yield the simplest reliability index.
