Summary of panel discussion: New generation of codes
conference paper
In the past decade, there have been numerous advances in probability-based structural codes and codified
design in countries in Europe, North America, and the Pacific Rim. The professional engineering community is gradually accepting these concepts. This Panel Session provides a forum to present and discuss past accomplishments and future activities in the development of structural design and evaluation procedures using probabilistic methods. Brief presentations by the Panelists on current topics challenge the audience to consider issues of particular interest, including: new developments in probability-based design; load and strength models for structural codes; risk-consistent safety and serviceability checking; acceptable risk; code calibration procedures and shortcomings; identification of safety and serviceability limit states:
unified design procedures: and condition assessment of existing facilities. The Panelists present a comprehensive overview of probability-based design practice worldwide
