Structural engineers must focus on a structure's continued safety throughout its service life. Reinforced Concrete Structural Reliability covers the methods tha

This book describes the main methods used in the reliability of structures and their use in the design process leading to reliable products. This title provides

Concrete structures can be designed for durability by applying the principles and procedures of reliability theory combined with traditional structural design.

Structural reliability theory is concerned with the rational treatment of uncertainties in struc tural engineering and with the methods for assessing the safety

This book examines the corrosion of reinforced concrete from a practical point of view, highlights protective design and repair procedures, and presents ongoing
