Abstract

The gamma p.d.f. hypothesis for the intensities of frequent variable gravitational actions was established by Peir and Cornell[1973] in (4), and Sentler[l974] in (5), who specifically took account 01 the results of the loading survey in office buildings carried out by Mitchell and Woodgate in (2).

This paper is part of the programme “Analysis and Reliability of Building Structural Systems”. No. 32017 of the Spanish Higher Council for Scientific Research (C.S.I.C.)
