Hi all
I got a problem with the following question:
A structure is designed to last 50 years and can withstand a wind load of 135 m/s before failing. The annual peak wind speed at the structure’s location, w, is given by the following PDF:
f(w) = (1/3.1) ( 1 + a g(w) ) -(1+1/a) exp{ - ( 1 + a g(w) )-1/a } , 0 ≤ w
g(w) = (w - 45.0) / 3.1
Where a is a constrant with value 0.41. Assuming the loading capacity of the structure is deterministic, what is the reliability of the structure?
