DE KOCK, W. J.  y  STOKER, P. W.. Allocation and Prediction of Structure Safety Reliability. R&D j. (Matieland, Online) [online]. 1989, vol.5, pp.11-16. ISSN 2309-8988.

The disciplines of structural design and reliability engineering need to be brought in closer contact. Dynamic structures often require high strength and minimized mass. Classical design procedures based on the use of safety factors and given probabilities of failure are used for these structures and do not include reliability allocation or prediction. The paper explains the use of loadpaths and reliability block diagrams to model structure safety reliability. The use of structure functional entities is described. An interpretation is given of allocation and prediction of structure safety reliability as seen from a structural design point of view.
