What it is about

You learn the probabilistic foundations on which today's design codes are based, and you apply these to both theoretical and practical questions. The focus is on code-based design principles and their application to structural systems (in particular concrete construction). In the end you will be able to assess reliability, connect partial safety factor methods with a probabilistic framework, and practically implement advanced modeling approaches.

What you will be able to do

  • Basic knowledge of probability theory
  • Calculation of failure probabilities using different methods
  • Recognition and interpretation of safety-relevant components in standards
  • Connection of partial safety factor approach and fully probabilistic design
  • Understanding the principles of code calibration
  • Application of advanced probabilistic models in practice

What the module consists of

  • LecturesConveying the theoretical foundations and code-related concepts
  • ExercisesApplied tasks, simple manual calculations and practically oriented problem statements
  • Case studiesDeepening and application of concepts in realistic examples

Teaching method

  • Board and lecture explanationsExplanation of theory and derivations
  • PowerPoint presentationsStructured presentation of content and visualizations
  • Case studies and examplesContextual deepening and practical relevance
  • Manual calculationsPractice basic calculation procedures
  • Python-supported tasksSolve more realistic, practice-oriented problems
