ABSTRACT
Recently revised national and international standards for structural design are systematically based on probabilistic concepts, mathematical statistics and on the theory of structural reliability. The International Standard ISO 2394:1998 and EN 1990:2002, based on materials of JCSS, play a key role to constitute a common basis for defining design rules relevant to the construction and use of the wide majority of buildings and civil engineering works (ISO 13822:2001, ISO 22111:2007).
