Abstract

Conventional design methods require that a structure be designed so that its predicted capacity is larger than the specified design loads. In this approach (called Level I Design) it is assumed that all  variables and factors are deterministic and their values exactly known. It is generally accepted, however, that the basic variables used  in the prediction equations such as materials properties, section geometry, and the like are random variables and thus are characterized by a probability distribution function.
