Book Description
Structural Reliability Analysis and Prediction; 3rd Edition; PDF is a textbook which addresses the important issue of predicting the safety of structures at the design stage and also the safety of existing; perhaps deteriorating structures. Attention is focused on the definition and development of limit states such as serviceability and ultimate strength; the definition of failure and the various models which might be used to describe strength and loading. This ebook emphasizes applications and concepts; built up from basic principles and avoids undue mathematical rigor. It presents an accessible and unified account of the theory and techniques for the analysis of the reliability of engineering structures using probability theory.
This new third edition has been updated to cover new developments and applications and a new chapter is included which covers structural optimization in the context of reliability analysis. New examples and end of chapter problems are also now included.
