Comparative Research on Reliability Design Between Chinese and American Structural Design Specification
-
Abstract
A comparison of reliability design was studied between <Developments of a probability based load criterion for American national standard A58: building code requirements for minimum design loads in buildings and other structures> and Chinese code for reliability design (GB 50068—2001 and GB 50153—2008). It is analyzed similarities and differences of five aspects, such as the definition of reliability, the principle for reliability set, the influence factor, the measurement for reliability index and the method to ensure the reliability level. The conclusions can be referenced for probabilistic safety analysis (PSA) and structure design specification revising in the future.
