Structural Reliability and Risk Analysis

Probabilistic models of random variables (Loads, resistances, geometry etc.). Estimation of failure probability and design point. Models of systems and processes (series and parallel systems). Linear and nonlinear limit-state functions. Dependent and independent random variables. Load combinations. Probabilistic assessment of safety factors. Probabilistic natural hazard models. Fragility and exposure. Risk, fragility curves and decision analysis.
