Structural design

Reliability, risk and safety: essential methods for successful technical projects

In a time when safety and sustainability standards are continuously rising, the reliability of technical structures is crucial. The complex world of technical design and structural safety requires experts who are able to analyze risks, reliability and safety with precision.

During the five-day course ‘Reliability of Constructions and JCSS Probabilistic Model Code’, you will learn to apply methods for reliability, risk and safety assessment. Probabilistic calculations, statistical data analysis and maintenance strategies are central in this program. With these skills, you will not only make better decisions in technical projects, but you can also offer clients new services related to risk-based decision-making.

What can you expect?

Under the guidance of Prof. Dr. Ir. Raphaël Steenbergen (TNO MEC-Bouwlab) and an international team of lecturers from countries such as Denmark, Norway, Belgium, Italy, and Australia, you will take a dive deep into the world of probabilistic design. After completing the course, you will be able to:

  • Perform probabilistic calculations for typical technical challenges
  • Conduct statistical interpretations of data for reliability analysis
  • Apply strategies for maintenance and lifespan extension

Who is this course intended for?

This course is interesting for engineers, technical supervisors, managers, and academics who are involved in probabilistic structural analysis, design and risk assessment. Basic knowledge of probability theory, statistics, linear algebra and structural analysis is expected. The course will be taught entirely in English. A reduced rate is available for PhD students, don’t miss this opportunity to specialize further.
