Differences in estimating reliability of normal and exceptional structures
Abstract
The division of structures into normal and exceptional ones is presented and explained from the standpoint of their differences in reliability.As estimation of reliability of exceptional structure is hindered by insufficient experience, and by the fact that they can not be measured against applicable standards, this analysis also focuses on individual categories of such structures.Based on differentiation between reliability of normal and exceptional structures, these two categories of structures are analyzed at the level of partial factors.
