✦ Synopsis

A classification of structural failures is discussed and then expanded into a set of parameter statements which could be used in a process for predicting the likelihood of future structural failures. The parameter statements are subjectively assessed for 23 major structural accidents and then analysed using fuzzy sets. The failures are ranked in order of "inevitability". Human errors of one form or another proved to be the dominant reasons for the failures considered. A tentative method for assessing the safety of a structure allowing for the possibility of human error is outlined.

The present paper suggests a method to consider uncertainties in engineering structures in a computational scheme. Latin hypercube sampling is used to prepare input data of probabilistic parameters for subsequent deterministic simulations where the mechanical response is evaluated. The approach is a
