safety.
- Know statistical methods for modeling physical, model,
statistical and measurement uncertainties.
- Know methods for assessment of reliability of structural
systems using probabilistic methods.

uncertainties.
- Be able to use failure rates and hazard functions to model
failures in systems reliability for non-structural components.
- Be able to model uncertainties for loads and strengths.
- Be able to estimate the reliability by FORM/SORM methods
(reliability index method) and by simulation.
- Be able to model system behavior and estimate the reliability
of series and parallel systems.
- Understand basic concepts of stochastic processes and
time-variant reliability methods.
- Be able to estimate characteristic and design values for
strength parameters and load bearing capacities, and for
environmental loads and load effects using test data and
measurements.
