Abstract
The effect of model uncertainty on both structural reliability analysis and reliablitybased design has been discussed in a number of articles. Der Kiureghian (1989) and Der Kiureghian and Liu (1986) formulate the basic framework for analysis; they develop several measures of structural safety given imperfect models, and focus on a complete description of the different types and sources of model uncertainty, together with appropriate estimation and analysis methods. Also, several measures of imprecision are proposed.
