where, the X i terms are uncorrelated random variables,
and its mean and standard deviation are  X i ,  X i respectively .

where, ( x1* , x2* , , xn* ) is the point about which the expansion is performed.

3.1.3 Comments on MVFOSM
1. Advantages
• It is very easy to use.
• It does not require knowledge of the distributions of the random
variables.
2. Disadvantages
• Results are inaccurate if the tails of the distribution functions
cannot be approximated by a normal distribution.
• There is an invariance problem: the value of the reliability index
depends on the specific form of the limit state function.
That is to say, for different forms of the limit state equation
which have the same mechanical meanings, the values of
reliability index calculated by MVFOSM may be different !

The invariance problem is best clarified by

AFOSM — Advanced First Order Second Moment
–
To overcome the invariant problem, Hasofer and Lind propose an
advanced FOSM method in 1974 , which is called AFOSM .
–
The “correction” is to evaluate the limit state function at a point
known as the “design point” instead of the mean values.
Therefore, this method is also called “design point method” or
“checking point method”.
–
The “design point” is a point on the failure surface Z  0 .
–
Since the design point is generally not known a priori, an iteration
technique is generally used to solve for the reliability index.
3.2 AFOSM — Advanced First Order Second Moment Method …2
3.2.1 Principles of AFOSM
1. Assumptions
Consider a nonlinear limit state function of the form
Z  g ( X )  g ( X1 , X 2 ,
, Xn )
where, the X i terms are uncorrelated random variables,
and its mean value  X i and standard deviation  X i are known.
2. Transformation from X space into U space

form as follows:
Ui 
X i is transformed into its standard

3.2 AFOSM — Advanced First Order Second Moment Method …3
–
The X space is then transformed into U space:
X  ( X1 , X 2 ,
–
U  (U1 ,U 2 ,
, Xn )
The limit equation in X space
Z  g ( X )  g ( X1 , X 2 ,
, Xn )
is transformed to U space as follows.
Z  G(U )  G(U1,U2 ,
–
The design point P* ( x1* , x2* ,
transformed
Pˆ * (u1* , u2* , to, un* )
,U n )
, xn* ) in X space is then
in U space.
,U n )

3. Reliability Index in U Space

In U space, the tangent plane equation through the design point

Since the design point Pˆ * is a point on the failure surface Z  0 ,
then we have

The hyper-plane equation can therefore be simplified as follows:

JC Method — Recommended by the JCSS Committee
–
The AFOSM method can only treat with the limit state equation
with normal random variables. To overcome this problem,
Rackwitz and Fiessler propose a procedure which can deal with
the general random variables in 1978. This method is then
recommended by the Joint Committee of Structural Safety,
Therefore it is also named JC Method.
–
The reliability index calculated by JC method is also called
Rackwitz—Fiessler reliability index.
–
The basic idea of JC method is to convert each non-normal
random variable into an equivalent normal random variable by
using the Principle of Equivalent Normalization.
3.3 JC Method — Recommended by the JCSS Committee …2
3.3.1 Basic Idea of JC Method
–
Convert each non-normal random variable into an equivalent normal
random variable by using the Principle of Equivalent Normalization.
–
After this transformation, the problem can then be solved by AFOSM
method.
3.3.2 Principle of Equivalent Normalization
1. Transformation Conditions of Equivalent Normalization
(1) At the design checking point P* , the CDF value of the equivalent
normal random variable is equal to that of the original non-normal
random variable.
(2) At the design checking point P* , the PDF value of the equivalent
normal random variable is equal to that of the original non-normal
random variable.
