Codes and Structural Reliability
The design of structures using a structural design code, or an equivalent regulation, may be described as 'structural proportioning by delegated professional authority'. This chapter focuses on how a code should be formulated to be optimum for the range of structures for which it is likely to be used. A structural design code can be viewed as a predictive tool, in the sense that the designer, having followed the requirements of the code, expects, like others such as his client(s), that the resulting structure to be sufficiently safe and sufficiently serviceable during the period of its expected life. The chapter deals with the selection of safety levels and the concept of code calibration, that is, the process of relating the Level 1 safety‐checking format to the implied safety of previously, and already long‐existing, older design rules. Traditionally safety factors were selected largely on the basis of intuition and experience.
