Objectives:
This course presents concepts and applications of probability and statistics for the analysis of reliability and risk of structures. Upon completion of this course, students will be able to
1. Apply probability theory to solve structural engineering problems
2. Model and simulate random variables and random processes
3. Use numerical methods for modeling and propagating uncertainties in engineering systems.
4. Compute the reliability of engineering systems and components
5. Update system reliability based on operational data
Prerequisites:
An undergraduate-level understanding of probability and statistics. Some experience with Matlab and Python programming is preferred.
