Query: Bayesian Network Enhanced with Structural Reliability Methods:
  Methodology   We combine Bayesian networks (BNs) and structural reliability methods (SRMs)
to create a new computational framework, termed enhanced Bayesian network
(eBN), for reliability and risk analysis of engineering structures and
infrastructure. BNs are efficient in representing and evaluating complex
probabilistic dependence structures, as present in infrastructure and
structural systems, and they facilitate Bayesian updating of the model when new
information becomes available. On the other hand, SRMs enable accurate
assessment of probabilities of rare events represented by computationally
demanding, physically-based models. By combining the two methods, the eBN
framework provides a unified and powerful tool for efficiently computing
probabilities of rare events in complex structural and infrastructure systems
in which information evolves in time. Strategies for modeling and efficiently
analyzing the eBN are described by way of several conceptual examples. The
companion paper applies the eBN methodology to example structural and
infrastructure systems.
