Structural Reliability Assessment
Probability denotes the chance that a particular, predefined event occurs. Classically, the probability of event occurrence was considered to be obtainable only from many repeated observations of the process that led to the event, the so‐called 'frequentist' (or objective) definition. An alternative interpretation is that probability expresses a 'degree of belief' about the occurrence of an event, rather than the actual (but unknown) frequency. It is therefore a 'subjective' or 'personal' probability. Reliability analysis considering only a subset of uncertainties will result in a probability estimate that herein will be termed a 'nominal' or 'formal' measure. An estimate of structural reliability depends on the state of knowledge available to the analyst(s). The determination of the probability of failure can be carried out from two viewpoints: analysis of a given state of affairs, and prediction of failure probability for some time period in the future.
