Vessel-Bridge Collision Reliability Assessment Based on Structural Dynamic Analysis

Table 9

The failure probability of each pier.

DWT	25000–30000	30000–35000	35000–40000	40000–45000	45000–50000
Main tower	0.00E + 00	0.00E + 00	0.00E + 00	0	7.95E − 27
Auxiliary pier	0.00E + 00	3.66E − 13	3.49E − 12	8.68E − 09	3.75E − 07
Transition pier	3.53E − 16	2.91E − 10	1.97E − 06	9.20E − 06	7.05E − 03

Note. The failure probability takes the value of 0 when it is smaller than 1.0E − 30.
