报告内容（Abstract）

The traditional global safety factor design method has evolved into partial factor design approaches, including the Eurocode 7 for EU and the Load and Resistance Factor Design (LRFD) in the USA. This seminar explains practical reliability methods which can overcome some limitations and potential pitfalls of the partial factor design approaches. Focus is on intuitive understanding, efficient implementation, and insights and revelations from reliability methods which can enhance the partial factor design approaches. Examples include soil and rock slope stability, underground excavation, and foundations.
