Abstract

Formulation of algorithms necessary to calculate Hasofer and Lind reliability index β HL supposes that the limit state function of the structural elements, G(X) = 0, and its derivatives, \( \frac{{\partial G}}{{\partial X}} \), are available under an explicit analytic form in the space of the random variables X i .
