Original Abstract

The subject of this article is the analysis of indeterminacies which we are often forced to work with, whether we want to or not. The article presents the approach of fuzzy analysis and stochastic methods in the engineering field. The completeness of statistical information on input data for utilization in probabilistic studies is discussed. The uncertainty of computational models of load-bearing structures is discussed and modern instruments employable in the analysis of these uncertainties are listed. To obtain a correct stochastic computation, it is necessary to have exclusively objective statistical information based on experiments including the correlation matrix at the disposal. If this information is not available, the vague (fuzzy) uncertainty is to be quantified by applying the so-called fuzzy analysis.
