Abstract. The aim of this work is to give support in the update of the Complementary Technical Standards for Actions for Structural Design of the buildings of the Federal District of Mexico. A methodology based on probability concepts was developed to obtain reliability indexes for some typical structural elements (columns, beams and walls). Structural element designs were performed using Mexican requirements. An interval of load factors values was analyzed including current values. Gravitational and gravitational plus accidental actions load combinations formats were analyzed in which variations of reliability index as a functionof load factors were presented and discussed.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
