Abstract: Structural system reliability analysis under the condition of limit state
function unknown is most important for large and complex structure. A semiparameter interpolate technique, Kriging Simulation (KS), which could avoid the
restriction and the influence of different limit state function formulation, could
evaluate the structure response with high accuracy. Combined the Kriging Simulation
and the optimization method, the reliability index could be solved. The stability and
efficiency of this mechod is shown in the example. The Kriging Simulation, which
has the advangtae of Response Surface Method (RSM) and Artificial Neural Network
(ANN), could be served as a new adaptive structure evaluate system for reliability
analysis.
