Applied Methods of Structural Reliability

Viac o knihe

The book explores the evolution of structural reliability over the past 25 years, highlighting its integration into broader reliability theory and the emergence of reliability engineering. It emphasizes the importance of viewing bearing structures within the context of constructed facilities and advocates for innovative approaches to reliability solutions. The author presents reliability theory as a blend of mathematical reasoning and engineering judgment, enhanced by probability, statistics, and computational tools, forming a structured framework akin to a "reliability grammar."
