Structural reliability is about applying reliability engineering theories to buildings and, more generally, structural analysis.[1][2] Reliability is also used as a probabilistic measure of structural safety. The reliability of a structure is defined as the probability of complement of failure . The failure occurs when the total applied load is larger than the total resistance of the structure. Structural reliability has become known as a design philosophy in the twenty-first century, and it might replace traditional deterministic ways of design[3] and maintenance.[2]
