Long Title: TIME-DEPENDENT SYSTEM RELIABILITY METHODS AND APPLICATIONS

Department: Civil & Environmental Engr

Grade Mode: Standard Letter

Course Type: Lecture

Credit Hours: 3

Prerequisite(s): STAT 310 OR ECON 307 OR ECON 382 OR STAT 312

Description: Students will learn modern computational simulation and theoretical techniques to assess the reliability of engineering systems as a function of their component probabilities of failure. The course will explore advanced topics on time-dependent system reliability and will provide insights into load modeling, load combinations, and the role of normative design standards. Structural infrastructure components and their host systems will be emphasized and used as case studies. These include power system substations, wind turbines, bridges, and buildings. Graduate/Undergraduate Equivalency: CEVE 524. Mutually Exclusive: Cannot register for CEVE 424 if student has credit for CEVE 524.
