✦ Synopsis

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 applied on a pallet rack system where damaged columns and connector stinesses are considered as probabilistic parameters. The mechanical simulations are performed with the ®nite element method, and full advantage is taken of existing commercial code.
