Abstract

The paper proposes and demonstrates the possibility of using predictive reliability studies for the improvement of sizing calculations and the design of greenhouses located on the roofs of buildings. Starting from a well-established rooftop greenhouse model, its structural and logical reliability schemes are compiled, and then the predictive reliability of the components and the assembly is calculated using the exponential distribution time law, where the failure rate is constant. Based on the use of the accepted data in the specialty literature, are calculated the values of the predictive reliability of the greenhouse over time intervals, and by analyzing them, intervenes on the safety coefficients used in the sizing calculations.
