The objective of this book is to provide the reader with a practical tool for reliability analysis of structures. The presented material is intended to serve as a textbook for a one semester course for undergraduate seniors or graduate students. The material is presented assuming the reader has some background in structural engineering and structural mechanics. Previous exposure to probability and statistics is helpful but not required; the most important aspects of probability and statistics are reviewed early in the text.

5.0 out of 5 stars
Excellent Book .,
By MUSTAFA KEMAL GOKALP (Ankara Turkey) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Reliability of Structures (Hardcover)
There are many books on Reliability Methods on Engineering. I think that many of them are difficult to understand and not practically oriented. This book is easy to understand . Examples are great. All the solution techniques and steps are explained in great clarity and detailed manner. Even a child can learn something from that book. Important concepts on probability and statistics are also emphasized. I've a thesis on Application of Reliability Methods on the Design of Engineering Structures and with the help of this book I've solved all my problems. Many thanks to the writers of this very good book.

Although I didn't read the entire book, I found this book very practical and excellent for people who want to use reliability methods. The book provides excellent examples and recommendations for using different reliability techniques. Also, it provides references for more in-depth information on these techniques. Generally, I liked this book.
