The structural failure probability analysis of pipe impact onto a concrete wall

Description

The purpose of this study was to perform a probabilistic safety assessment of a steel pipe impacting against a concrete wall. The probabilistic structural integrity evaluation was coupled with a deterministic FE program, NEPTUNE. This evaluation included deterministic modeling, definition of random variables, description of failure criterion or limit state function, running the probabilistic analysis and reviewing the final results
