Assessment Procedures

The concept of Simulation Based Reliability Assessment (SBRA) for Civil Engineering structures is presented. SBRA uses bounded histograms to represent variable material and geometric properties as well as variable load effects, and makes use of the Monte Carlo technique to perform a probability-based reliability assessment. SBRA represents a departure from the traditional deterministic and semi-probabilistic design procedures applied in codes and as such requires a "re-engineering" of current assessment procedures in accordance with the growing potential of computer and information technology. Three simple examples of how SBRA can be used in Structural Engineering design are presented: 1) the reliability assessment of a steel beam, 2) a truss bar subjected to variable tension and compression, and 3) the pressure on the wall of an elevated water tank due to earthquake load.

The Aesthetic

This paper considers the fundamental problem of artificial lighting in various types and scales of industrial facilities, focusing on exterior lighting design solutions. There is a lack of interest from investors, customers and society in high­quality lighting design for industrial facilities in Russia, which in many cities are very imaginative structures, practically unused in the evening. Architectural lighting of various types of installations is illustrated with photographs. The purpose of the article is to draw attention to the aesthetic value of industrial structures, provided not only by the architectural, but also by a welldesigned lighting solution.
