ABSTRACT
ABSTRACT: The development of computer and information technologies allows for researchers/ engineers to consider the transition from the current structural reliability methods applied in codified design to the probabilistic methods based on simulation technique and applicable to the designer’s everyday work. This paper focuses on the application of one such method, the SimulationBased Reliability Assessment (SBRA), documented in Marek et al (1995, 2003). An example of the reliability (safety) assessment of a reinforced concrete cross-section exposed to a combination of normal force and bending moment is demonstrated and discussed.
