| Abstract: | Claim and reality of semiprobabilistic concepts of dimensioning. The load and dimensioning standards of the civil engineering are in remarkable processes of radical change. Previous deterministic standards are discontinued and are relieved by probabilistically justified regulations. In place of a global safety coefficient of dimensioning there are concepts of dimensioning with several partial safety coefficients which understand in a stronger way the individuel dimensioning situation and which are derived probabilistically. The criterious of a probability of failure or the mathematically defined reliability should lead to objective standards of the dimensioning of the construction and replace the previous estimated handicap of safety which are felt autocratically in safety‐theoretical view. The following executions deal with the claim and the reality of the new semiprobabilistic concepts of dimensioning and try to give pieces of advice for a sensible further development. |
