An Overview of Structural Reliability Methods

by Alain H. Peyrot, Univ of Wisconsin, United States,



Document Type: Proceeding Paper

Part of: Building Code Requirements for Masonry Structures (ACI 530-88/ASCE 5-88) and Specifications for Masonry Structures (ACI 530.1-88/ASCE 6-88) (ACI 530.1-88/ASCE 6-88)

Abstract:

Recent developments in structural reliability theory and better availability of load and strength data suggest that reliability-based design (RBD) methods should be considered as a practical alternative to traditional deterministic design methods for transmission lines. This paper describes what can realistically be expected of RBD methods at the present time.
