Structural Reliability according to AS 5104 (ISO 2394
identical, which is referenced in AS/NZS 1170)
• Design life = reference period(normally taken as 50 years)
• Probability of failure for resistance at ULS over a 50-year reference period (lowrelative costs for safety
measures and moderateconsequences of failure)p f = 7.2×10-5 ≡ =3.8
• E and R are vectors of thelimit state function, whichaccording to AS 5104 (ISO
2394) may be taken as -0.7and 0.8, respectively for FORM when 0.16 < E / R < 7.6

Basis of Load and Strength capacity reduction
factors
• Normal distribution usuallytaken
• Characteristic value• Mean value if variability small• Upper value (normally 95%
fractile) if variability is not small
• Log-normal distribution usuallytaken (resistance doesn’t havenegative values)
• Characteristic (or nominal) valuefor resistance For large sampleof data and a normal distribution
• 5% fractile = 1.64 σR • Design value = 0.8x3.8σR = 3.04σR

For the design fractile factor k d,n as n , k d, = R = 3,04
For the characteristic fractile factor k n
as n , k n, = 1,64
If log-normal distribution is taken (which is desirable as it falls to zero at
the origin, so there are no negative resistances)
where rt and is the weighting factor for Q rt, Q rt is a coefficient for variation
of the variables in the resistance function, is the weighting factor for Q ,
Q is a coefficient for variation of the error term and Q is a coefficient for
variation of the resistance.

Design model for beams in bending
• Design section moment capacity• M s = f y Z e• where is the strength reduction factor, f y is
the yield strength used in design (i.e. the
nominal value) and Z e is the effective section
modulus, which is dependant on whether the
section is compact, non-compact or slender
• Design model which contains the
basic variables
• r t = g rt (X m ) = f y,m Z e,m
• where f y,m and Z e,m are the mean measured
basic variables that are included in a report
from a laboratory test
• Correction factor • bi = r ei/r ti• where r ei is the experimental resistance for
specimen i and r ti is the theoretical resistance
on specimen i • For beams in bending, typically b =
1.14 and 1.19 for partially laterally
restrained and fully laterally
restrained, respectively
Failure deemed to occur at endrotation of 6 degrees

Frequency of tensile tests
• According to AS/NZS 3679.1,
for tensile tests, samples
representative of the batch
shall be taken as follows:• One sample for a batch not
exceeding 50 t.
• One additional sample for thebalance of the batch.
• Mill tests are invariably
conducted at a higher
strain rate than
laboratory testingtypically mean mill f y /
mean specified f y = 1.21

Conclusions
• For beams in bending, reliability analyses show 0.9 is appropriate when conservatively assuming
that all negative geometrical tolerances occur and
no mass tolerance is used, f y = R eH and CoV = 7%.
• Yield strengths on mill certificates are given for conformity assessment purposes.
• It is dangerous to use yield strengths from mill
certificates as the results represent a small fraction
of the steel used in design and allowances for theactual yield strength being larger than the nominal
yield strength have been allowed for in the
evaluation of
