Abstract

In chapters 1 and 4 an introduction to the fundamental concepts of structural reliability is given and the so-called level 2 methods are briefly mentioned. In this chapter, level 2 methods will be treated in a more detailed way and a number of simple applications will be shown. In chapter 6 further applications of level 2 methods with special emphasis on non-normally distributed basic variables and correlated basic variables are treated.
