The book provides a self-contained treatment of stochastic finite element methods. It helps the
reader to establish a solid background on stochastic and reliability analysis of structural
systems and enables practicing engineers to better manage the concepts of analysis and design
in the presence of uncertainty. The book covers the basic topics of computational stochastic
mechanics focusing on the stochastic analysis of structural systems in the framework of the
finite element method. The target audience primarily comprises students in a postgraduate
program specializing in structural engineering but the book may also be beneficial to
practicing engineers and research experts alike.
