From the Back Cover

Covers the criticality of determining the stability and overall safety of structures--both existing ones and those being planned

Structural Reliability Analysis and Prediction, Third Edition 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 development and definition 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 book emphasises concepts and applications, built up from basic principles, and avoids undue mathematical rigour. 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 book offers chapters covering: Measures of Structural Reliability, Structural Reliability Assessment, Integration and Simulation Methods, Second-Moment and Transformation Methods, Reliability of Structural Systems, The Dependent Reliability, Load and Load Effect Modelling, Resistance Modeling, Codes and Structural Reliability and Probabilistic Evaluation of Existing Structures.

  • Covers new developments and applications
  • Features a new chapter which covers structural optimization in the context of reliability analysis
  • Includes examples throughout and end-of-chapter problems

Structural Reliability Analysis and Prediction covers a topic of great interest to those who wish to consider the risk of failure (such as collapse or fracture) of a structure under extreme events and is an ideal text for graduate and senior undergraduate students in civil and structural engineering.

ROBERT E. MELCHERS, PhD, is a Professor in the Department of Civil Engineering at The University of Newcastle, Australia. His main areas of research expertise are in structural engineering risk and reliability analyses, probabilistic modelling of engineering systems, corrosion and deterioration modeling, and investigation of structural failures.

ANDRÉ T. BECK, PhD, is an Associate Professor in the Department of Structural Engineering at the University of São Paulo, Brazil. His research interests include structural mechanics and structural safety.
