Structural Reliability lectures by B. Bhattacharya

"Structural Reliability: Design Assessment and Safety Targets"  by Prof. Baidurya Bhattacharya of IIT Kharagpur.

This is a 36 hour course created and recorded for NPTEL (hptts://nptel.ac.in) - India's national initiative for taking quality education to all corners of the country. 

Description: 
"The civil engineering community, and structural engineers in particular, have long recognized the important role played by variability and incomplete information in their profession:   (i) random system properties, (ii) unpredictable future loads and strength deterioration, (iii) human errors, and (iv) imperfect mathematical models. Ensuring adequate safety and reliability for all stakeholders in the presence of these uncertainties is therefore a central objective of design analysis and assessment of structural systems. This course aims to give the students the ability to model uncertainties and manage risks in civil engineering activities in a way that best serves the interests of society."
