Safety assessment of a steel frame using the LRFD and SBRA methods

The computer revolution allows for considering a transition from current prescriptive reliability assessment methods, such as Load and Resistance Factor Design (LRFD) to fully probabilistic concepts, such as Simulation- Based Reliability Assessment (SBRA). The subject of the paper is a comparison and discussion of differences between above mentioned methods using safety assessment of a planar steel frame as an example....
