## Abstract Safety in structural engineering is an enduring issue with a long history. Extensive rules have been developed for its management, mainly for use at the design and construction stages, but are these sufficient? Increasingly, ageing, existing structures must be assessed for continued saf
The response of a structure with random parameters (e.g. sti!ness, or damping coe$cients) is investigated, when it is subjected to a random load. The structural behaviour can be either linear or non-linear, but the forcing process has been assumed to be second-order Gaussian. A modi"ed series expans
Problems from plastic analysis are based on the convex, linear or linearised yield/strength condition and the linear equilibrium equation for the stress (state) vector. In practice one has to take into account stochastic variations of several model parameters. Hence, in order to get robust maximum l
