Abstract

In this book it was shown that the values of computed probabilities of failure of bridges and the observed frequencies of collapse of bridges are comparable by using correction factors for example for human failures and correlation values. Although two factors can easily be applied to fit one target parameter to another, major efforts have been undertaken to justify all parameters. Information is given for almost all of the parameters.
