Methods of Structural Reliability

p 129-142
Probabilistic engineering models are ultimately utilized in the context of risk-informed decision making to assess the probability of events associated with consequences. In this chapter it is shown how such models may be utilized first to represent the events associated with consequences and thereafter, how to assess their probabilities. Throughout the chapter, examples are provided illustrating the presented methods and their application in an engineering context. In Lecture 12 first the concept of safety margins from modern …
