Abstract

This paper presents evaluation of vulnerability of V-beam steel roofing system subjected to high wind hazard. Probabilistic model based on the structural reliability concept was developed by using Monte Carlo simulation to determine the levels of damage of component connections in the roofing model. This study also estimated damage states of the model by using the developed probabilistic model. The result of the estimation showed likely wind velocity which triggers structural minor or severe damage in case of inappropriate construction or inadequate maintenance to be considered.
