摘要

Codes and standards used for guiding structural design of buildings and bridges traditionally have been prescriptive and quantitative. In an era of gradual change in design and construction technologies, this traditional approach to structural design generally served the public and the profession well. However, prescriptive standards do not accommodate technological advances and innovations easily, and in the last three decades, such occurrences have changed the nature of building design and construction rapidly. At the same time, the performance of buildings and other structures during extreme manufactured events and natural phenomena hazards, such as hurricanes and earthquakes and flooding, has led to intense public and professional scrutiny and criticism of current engineering and construction practices. Finally, uncertainties are invariably present in structural engineering, and standards that do not take these uncertainties into account consistently (or, worse, do not account for them at all) are an obstacle to advancing structural engineering practice. With the advent of structural reliability as a tool for the treatment and analysis of uncertainty, the decades of the 1970s and 1980s brought the realization that although absolute safety is an unattainable goal, uncertainties in structural performance could be quantified (in terms of uncertainties in structural actions and response and in material strength and stiffness characteristics) and risk-informed structural design criteria could be developed that were consistent with a desired level of performance. With this realization, practical structural design standards that reflected these reliability principles evolved quite rapidly. Not only did this transition in thinking regarding structural safety and serviceability evolve rapidly, it evolved in most modern, postindustrial societies at about the same time.
