The structural reliability analysis is the widely accepted method for bridge safety assessment. Identification the subset of significant failure modes is the most important part of system reliability estimation. In this paper, a stage critical strength branch and bound algorithm is proposed for the failure mode identification of bridge systems. The innovative method is implemented in the combination with the finite element package ANSYS and the MATLAB procedure. The suggest method is applied to a concrete filled steel tubular (CFST) arch bridges. The results reveal various combinations of the failure modes in significantly reduced time and efforts in comparison to the previous permutation method. Additionally, the suggested method can be used for the verification of the system reliability with more specific predictions of the failure mode.

In Four-column limb lattice jib structure system as the research object, considering the structure and mechanical characteristics, combining with the allowable stress method, from the failure mode of static strength, stiffness, overall stability and local stability to build lattice jib structure system reliability failure criterion. Based on the influence of parameter perturbation calculation of four-column limb lattice jib structure system, get the length of the jib, lifting weight, jib elevation, hoisting load bearing point offset, the proportion of wind environment on the influence of different failure modes and failure change law, as the main failure mode of the decision to provide the basis and methods.

A quantitative method of structural system reliability was proposed to study the influence of random rock mechanical parameters and loads on the stability of the coal seam floor above confined aquifers. To obtain the reliability probability of the floor, two modes of water-resistant floor failure were suggested as follows: (1) mining completely removed the water-resistant key strata of the floor. In this case, the failure modes were of three main types: mining failure, confined water intrusion, and combined mining failure and intrusion. (2) Failure modes included shear and tensile failures when the thickness of the key strata was greater than 0. On the basis of the elastic thin plate theory, the performance function that calculates the reliability probability of all modes could be obtained. The failure modes were regarded as the series system. The Monte Carlo method was employed to calculate the reliability probability of each failure mode and series system. The results showed that the random rock mechanical parameters and loads of the key strata significantly influence the antiwater inrush capacity of the floor. In addition, the water inrush coefficient and reliability probability can be simultaneously used as the evaluation indexes of water inrush risk. Both these indexes could improve the assessment of the reliability of the floor.
