To date, reliability-based structural design standards have been developed using deterministic design procedures that are formulated to achieve target levels of structural reliability (target safety indices) without requiring explicit reliability calculations. Target safety indices have been selected to match typical safety levels in previous design standards. However, the current levels of structural...
Probability-based patterned live loads for design are discussed with regard to probabilistic models of load-effects due to sustained live loads on floors. Statistics are presented for equivalent uniformly distributed loads (EUDLs) and equivalent patterned loads (EPLs) for a continuous beam and for continuous floor slab systems. It is shown that EPLs (rather than EUDLs) are required to realistically...
