 Introduction
Uncertainties in load and resistance
parameters
Basis of Structural Design (BoSD)
BoSD
Structural performance and safety

Permissible stress design

Vary in treatment
of uncertainty
Load factor design

Limit state method
Probabilistic limit state design.

 Research Motivation
& Objectives
Technological advancement in codified design
practice.
Make use of the more rational-scientific theory of structural
reliability

BS 8110 withdrawn. EN 1992-1-1 implemented.

BS8110EN1992-1-2
Trace the application of reliability in EC-2 to determine
suitability for SA adoption.EC-2

Assess and determine to what extent aspects that require
reliability verification has been achieved in EN 1992-1-1.

Topics & Key issues
Consistency with SANS 10160-1 (SA BoSD standard)
SANS10160-1BoSD
Scope of structures & procedures
Reliability levels & management

Scope of SANS 10100-1 SANS10160-1

Applications: classes of structures; materials
Procedures: general design; advanced procedures
