The probabilistic distribution and statistical parameters obtained from the literature survey and assumptions are shown in Table 2.

4.2. Limit state function for the flexure failure of main girders

The flexure limit state function is established by the girder’s ultimate resistance and external negative maximum moment as it is fitted by the response surface method. The random variables’ response function uses the Bucher–Bourgund method for the average of random variables and three axial points. The selected random variables are section area, inertia, and resistant moments of the girders (Table 3). Since the Bucher–Bourgund method is used, the three axial points    had

the distance ±σ (standard deviation) between the center and axis points.

The statistical values of the selected random variables, which compose the response surface function, are provided in Table 4. The Pf of the limit state is calculated by the Rackwitz–Fiessler method [9], using probability distribution statistical parameters (Table  3).  The  reliability  index  is  calculated  for  the   load
