Abstract

In structural engineering, uncertainties arising from various sources, such as variability in material properties, loading conditions, manufacturing discrepancies and model inaccuracies, can significantly impact the integrity and performance of structures. This paper presents a comprehensive review of probabilistic and semi-probabilistic frameworks used to address these uncertainties in the context of static strength assessment within the aeronautical and civil engineering domains. By comparing the approaches used in aeronautical engineering, specifically for large commercial aircraft, with those in civil engineering, this paper aims to identify best practices and assess their transferability between the two fields. The review covers legislative and certification requirements, structural testing, reliability assessment approaches as well as the determination and use of safety factors. Through this comparative analysis, the paper seeks to highlight the differences and similarities in managing uncertainties and ensuring structural integrity, ultimately providing insights that could enhance design practices in both domains.

航空和土木工程设计规范中结构完整性概率框架的比较研究

在结构工程中，由各种来源引起的不确定性，如材料特性的变化、加载条件、制造差异和模型不准确，会严重影响结构的完整性和性能。本文介绍了用于解决航空和土木工程领域内静强度评估背景下这些不确定性的概率和半概率框架的全面审查。通过比较航空工程（特别是大型商用飞机）与土木工程中使用的方法，本文旨在确定最佳实践并评估它们在两个领域之间的可移植性。审查包括立法和认证要求、结构测试、可靠性评估方法以及安全因素的确定和使用。通过这种比较分析，本文试图强调在管理不确定性和确保结构完整性方面的差异和相似之处，最终提供可以增强这两个领域的设计实践的见解。
