Abstract
In structural reliability analysis at least three types of uncertainty must be considered, namely physical uncertainty, statistical uncertainty, and model uncertainty (see e.g. Thoft-Christensen & Baker [1]). The physical uncertainty is usually modelled by a number of basic variables by predictive density functions, Veneziano [2]. In general, model uncertainty is the uncertainty connected with mathematical modelling of the physical reality.
When structural reliability analysis is related to the concept of a failure surface (or limit state surface) in the n-dimension basic variable space then model uncertainty is at least due to the neglected variables, the modelling of the failure surface and the computational technique used.
