Description
Reliability analysis for structural design provides an effective and consistent introduction of the theory of structural reliability. The wide involvement of the author in the development of such design standards at various levels results in his ability to introduce advanced concepts in a clear and practical manner.
The book consequently not only provides an appreciation for the way in which reliability-based partial factor limit states design procedures are formulated in design standards, but also for ways in which these principles can be applied in design practice, particularly where high demands are placed on structural performance.
