Abstract
Reliability-based design of structural systems is considered. Especially systems where the reliability model is a series system of parallel systems are analysed. A sensitivity analysis for this class of problems is presented. Direct and sequential optimization procedures to solve the optimization problems are described. Numerical tests indicate that a sequential technique called the bounds iteration method (BIM) is particularly fast and stable.
