Question 1
What is the primary limitation of the traditional safety factor approach?
- It doesn't consider varying loads
- It's too complicated
- It only applies to steel structures
💡 Hint: Think about how different loads can affect structural stability.
Question 2
True or False: The reliability index is a measure of how much stronger a structure is over its expected load.
- True
- False
💡 Hint: Remember the purpose of the reliability index.

Challenge Problems
Push your limits with challenges.
Question 1
Given a structure with a mean performance of 75 and a standard deviation of 10, calculate the reliability index if the maximum load is 85.
💡 Hint: Just be sure to carefully define the function.
Question 2
Discuss how modifying the beta distribution parameters can affect reliability assessments. Consider scenarios where extreme conditions are prevalent.
💡 Hint: Imagine how real-life events can sway structural loads.
