Safety, Reliability and Risk of Structures, Infrastructures and Engineering Systems: Proceedings of the 10th International Conference on Structural Safety and Reliability, ICOSSAR, 13-17 September 2009, Osaka, Japan / Edition 1 in Bloomington, MN

Containing the papers of the 10
th
International Conference on Structural Safety and Reliability (ICOSSAR2009, Osaka, Japan), this work covers safety and reliability of structures and systems in civil, marine, mechanical, transportation, and aerospace systems. A special focus is placed on advanced technologies, analytical and computational risk analysis, probability-based design and regulations, smart systems and materials, life cycle cost analysis, damage assessment, social aspects, and commercial applications. Emerging concepts and novel applications of reliability principles in all types of structural systems and mechanical components are included.
In addition to the text, all of the papers are included on a fully searchable CD-ROM.
