Probabilistic Methods for Structural Design

Probabilistic Methods for Structural Design edited by Carlos Guedes Soares.

This book contains contributions from various authors on different important topics related with probabilistic methods used for the design of structures. Initially several of the papers were prepared for advanced courses on structural reliability or on probabilistic methods for structural design. Th...
