“…The same approach was continued in other research work concerning elastic-plastic buckling of frames with imperfections (Murzewski [18]). In [13,14] the sensitivity analysis of load-capacity of I-beams subjected to torsion was analysed, while in [20] a similar problem concerning beams of bi-symmetrical cross-section was considered. A detailed discussion of problems related to sensitivity analysis of beams and frames was published in [1] and by Szymczak in [19], as well as in [21] and [22].…”

The paper deals with the load carrying capacity probabilistic variance-based sensitivity analysis of thin-walled box-section girders subjected to pure bending. The lower-and upper-bound load capacity estimation is performed using two different analytical methods. The sensitivity analysis performed is based on the methodology of the Monte-Carlo method. The analysis is carried out using the polynomial decomposition and multi-dimensional linear regression. The sample results obtained are presented in diagrams and pie charts showing the sensitivity of load capacity to different random input variables (material properties and geometrical parameters).The variance-based analysis (Anova) of lower-bound and upper-bound load capacity estimation is carried out, from which some conclusions are derived, if (and how) assumed changes in standard deviations of input variables influence the magnitude of the load capacity and differences in upper-bound and lower-bound load capacity estimations. The results of Anova tests are shown in sample histograms. Some final conclusions concerning the efficiency of the applied models and the statistically significant influence of input random variables (yield stress, wall thickness, height and length of the beam) upon the upper-bound and lower bound estimation of the load capacity as well as the difference of these two estimations, are presented.
