Overview
Objectives:
The project deals with three fundamental aspects of risk assessment.
Firstly, a framework will be established for the quantification of risks due to extraordinary loadings and loadings due to accidents, whereby the relevance of the loading for the tape of structure is considered.
Secondly, the philosophical basis and the framework for setting acceptance criteria will be identified.
Thirdly, it is envisaged that the Swiss judicature accepts risk based methodologies for decision making for the design of civil engineering structures.
Methodology:
Following methods were used in the project:
Literature review, statistical data analysis, simulations, shape calculations, time-invariant and reliability, time-invariant calculations, bayesian decision theory.
