This book was released on 2003 with total page 55 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The topics covered include: performance-based and limit state design philosophies; issues arising from the implementation of limit state design codes; elaborations of "measured values", "derived values" and "characteristic values"; reliability-based methodologies for analytical calibration of partial factors; and application of partial factors in FEM where highly nonlinear force-deformation behaviors may govern. Readership: Graduate students, academics and researchers in civil engineering, earthquake engineering and engineering mechanics.
