A framework for estimating the implicit safety level of existing design codes
Baravalle, Michele; Kohler, Jochen (Chapter, 2017)Target safety levels ( t ) are key elements for reliability-based design and calibration of design codes. They are derived by monetary optimization or from existing codes. The current article discusses these two approaches ... -
Calibration of simplified safety formats for structural timber design
Baravalle, Michele; Mikoschek, Michael; Colling, François; Kohler, Jochen (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)A framework for calibrating the reliability elements in simplified semi-probabilistic design safety formats is presented. The objective of calibration is to minimize the increase of construction costs, compared to the ... -
On the probabilistic representation of the wind climate for calibration of structural design standards
Baravalle, Michele; Kohler, Jochen (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)The article presents a contribution to the current debate on the probabilistic representation of the wind speed extremes for calibration of the partial safety factor covering wind action. The requirements for the probabilistic ... -
Risk and Reliability Based Calibration of Structural Design Codes: Principles and Applications
Baravalle, Michele (Doctoral theses at NTNU;2017:342, Doctoral thesis, 2017)Structures and infrastructures are essential for most societal activities and are required to be safe, as well as economically and environmentally sustainable. At the same time, societal resources of all kinds are limited. ...
