Probability Concepts of Transfer Load to the Foundation of Container Structure

Abstract

This paper presents stochastic analysis using the perturbation method to model the structure of a container to verify the distributions of probability of maximum and minimum axial forces reactions in piles. The proposed simulation of a container port terminal under 11 scenarios of load combinations was presented. The probability distributions for live loads are assigned according to the input parameters of simulation data. Part of the load itself is implicitly combined such as vertical live load which includes the weight of equipment and containers and wind load. The structural model was simulated in the software STAAD Pro., while the statistical analyses were performed with MATLAB. The results demonstrated that, the most significant external actions for the values of the axial forces reactions on the tips of the piles which considered appropriate to normal probability distributions.

Exploring Factors Contributing to Crash Injury Severity at Al-Diwaniyh City Streets: Random Parameter Ordered Probit Model Technique

“…The variables were analyzed using the ordered response model, and the variables were not dependent on the characteristics of the road, which included straightness. It was found that greater force (both straight and curved) increases the injury's severity [14][15][16].…”
