Features: Load is a crucial aspect of engineering structure design and an important issue to be addressed when starting engineering design. The probability reliability method has become the theoretical foundation for the design of various types of engineering structures (such as buildings, bridges, underground structures, roads, etc.). This book comprehensively and systematically discusses the basic concepts and determination methods of various types of loads in engineering structures, as well as the design principles of structural reliability. The book is divided into 3 parts and 13 chapters. The first two parts mainly include: types of loads, gravity, lateral pressure, wind load, seismic action, statistical analysis of loads, statistical analysis of structural resistance, structural reliability analysis, and structural probability reliability design methods, etc. The third part mainly includes the calculation methods and detailed examples of loads for three types of structures: industrial and civil buildings, bridges, and tunnel linings.
