Measures of Structural Safety
The reason for structural failure is that there is a gap between our predictions of structural performance and actions and the reality; and this gap generally presents as uncertainties. Along the development of engineering structural designs, decisions are often required to be made under the conditions of such uncertainties, in the sense that the consequence of a given decision cannot be determined with complete confidence. This chapter emphasises the necessity of dealing with various uncertainties in engineering decision making and reviews different measures of safety. In deterministic measures, the variables describing the structure and its strength are assumed to take on known values for which no uncertainty is assumed. In the probabilistic measure of safety, the quantification of uncertainty, and the evaluation of its effects on the performance and design of an engineering structure are conducted using concepts and methods of probability.
