Abstract

To date our built environment is broadly developed and maintained on the basis of structural design standards. Most design standards contain simplified semi-probabilistic safety concepts that help daily structural engineering decision making using simple calculus. In this paper research about the rational basis for the calibration of these simplified code formats is reviewed and the potential for further developments is presented.
