In this paper, the failure probability is estimated by using the FORM (first order reliability method), the SORM (second order reliability method) and the Monte Carlo simulation to evaluate the reliability of the corroded pipeline. It is found that the FORM technique is more effective in estimating the failure probability than the SORM technique for B31G and MB31G models with three different corrosion models. Furthermore, it is noted that the difference between the results of the FORM, the SORM and the Monte Carlo simulation decreases with the increase of the exposure time.

Probabilistic analysis aims at providing an assessment of cracked structures and taking relevant uncertainties into account in a rational quantitative manner. The main focus of this research work is on uncertainties aspect which relates with the nature of crack in materials. By using cracked structures modelling, finite element calculation, generation of adaptive mesh, sampling of cracked structure including uncertainties factors and probabilistic analysis using Monte Carlo method, the rigidity of cracked structures is estimated. Assessment of the accuracy in probabilistic structures is essential when limited amount of data is available. The hybrid finite element and probabilistic analysis represents the failure probability of the structures. The probability of failure caused by uncertainties relates to loads and material properties of the structure are estimated using Monte Carlo simulation technique. Numerical examples are presented to show probabilistic analysis based on Monte Carlo simulation provides accurate estimates of failure probability. The comparison shows that the combination between finite element analysis and probabilistic analysis provides a simple and realistic of quantify the failure probability.
