Synopsis

This book enables students and practicing engineers to appreciate how to value and handle reliability as an important dimension of structural design. It discusses the concepts of limit states and limit state functions, and presents methodologies for calculating reliability indices and calibrating partial safety factors. It also supplies information on the probability distributions and parameters used to characterize both applied loads and member resistances. This revised and extended second edition contains expanded discussions of U.S. and international codes and Monte Carlo simulation, as well as more examples.
