Calibration of Current LRFD Formats for R.C. Structure Design

철근콘크리트구조물의 현행 LRFD 설계식 검정

Because of the inherent random nature of most manmade and environmental loadings and materials as well as the emperfect structural analysis, the reliability-based structural design has been recognized as a rational approach and the probability-based design criteria has been successfully developed for many standards. In order to do this it is necessary to establish target reliability levels, for which the reliability levels inherent in present design practice will be used as a rational guide. In this study the reliability levels implied in current practices, therefore, are investigated using the load and resistance models developed for domestic uses.
