The objective of this book is to provide the reader with a practical tool for reliability analysis of structures. The presented material is intended to serve as a textbook for a one semester course for undergraduate seniors or graduate students. The material is presented assuming the reader has some background in structural engineering and structural mechanics. Previous exposure to probability and statistics is helpful but not required; the most important aspects of probability and statistics are reviewed early in the text.
