Abstract In this thesis an investigation on reliability of slender reinforcement concrete columns using risk analysis program and Monte Carlo Simulation method is excuted . since most of the variables involved in column design (material properties, geometric characteristics, loads) are random, probabilistic methods are used in the analysis. The effect of the concrete compressive strength, amount of longitudinal steel, load eccentricity, and slenderness ratio on the column reliability are investigated. It was found that all these factors have a considerable impact on the response of slender reinforcement concrete columns |
