Structural Reliability Analysis and Prediction (Civil Engineering S.)
Structural Reliability Analysis and Prediction - Civil Engineering S. Author:Melchers. Rpbert E. The setting of safety factors for structural design are important components of subject matter. The second edition of this title covers the risk of failure (such as collapse or fracture) of a structure under extreme events such as the occurrence of high wind loads, earthquake events, high seas, etc. It also deals with the probability of meeting ... more »normal operational requirements for structures. The description of loads and of resistances and material properties in probabilistic terms is included among a vast array of other topics.« less
