On Selecting Composite Functions Based on Polynomials for Responses Describing Extreme Magnitudes of Structures

The main aim of this work was to investigate a numerical error in determining limit state functions, which describe the extreme magnitudes of steel structures with respect to random variables. It was assisted here by the global version of the response function method (RFM). Various approximations of...
