Part 1 - This webinar will start with reviewing the concepts of structural safety and reliability. Random variables will then be introduced and will be used within the context of basic structural reliability analysis to showcase how to estimate probability of structural failure. A number of examples demonstrating the application of structural reliability concepts will be covered.

Part 2 - Following on from the first seminar, the First Order Reliability Method (FORM) will be introduced and its application for estimating the probability of structural failure will be demonstrated by using a numerical example. The background behind simulation methods, including Monte Carlo simulation, will be briefly presented. Subsequently, the concepts of structural reliability will be linked with limit state codes and partial factors and an example of reliability-based design and code calibration will be demonstrated.
