A Systems Reliability Approach to the Safety of Steel Connections

by Janice J. Trautner, Univ of Utah, Salt Lake City, United States,
Richard M. Bennett, Univ of Utah, Salt Lake City, United States,



Document Type: Proceeding Paper

Part of: Probabilistic Mechanics and Structural and Geotechnical Reliability

Abstract:

A methodology is presented to determine the probability of failure of steel connections using a systems approach. Results indicate that connection safety evaluations which do not use this approach may not be conservative.
