Safety Issues for Performance Based Design of High-Speed MAGLEV Guideway Structures
This paper discusses performance based design issues that were considered during a Phase I study of structural safety associated with the proposed implementation of a high speed MAGLEV guideway. In the current paper, the concept of PBD implies explicit (as compared with implicit) imposition of probabilistic design limits, but does not preclude the possibility of partial safety factor design for certain limit states, provided the relevant factors are explicitly assigned based upon target reliability levels for those limit states. Neither is it assumed that only a partial safety factor format is applicable for all relevant limit states. In some instances, simulation based design assessment such as widely discussed in the literature may be the only reasonable approaches.
