Description
Summary:is calculated. The reliability and partial safety factors are calculated for both cases to show how the load models affect the values of partial safety factors. Sensitivity analysis is made to study the importance of the variables. The reliability of the three takers is calculated based on the rule design values and the corresponding partial safety factors are assessed. To achieve a certain pre defined level of reliability, a design modification factor is applied to the deck plating to adjust the ultimate strength. The loads are assumed to remain unchanged by the design modification factor. 1.
