Reliability of a building object - the ability of a building object perform the required functions during the estimated service life. In this case, the structure may experience a special limit state after exceeding the limit of the bearing capacity in the first and deformability in the second limit states, in which they do not fully comply with the functional requirements; further increase in loads and impacts leads to their destruction. The assumed initial local destruction implies the removal of a bearing structural element, simulating the loss of bearing capacity and stability, as well as leading to a change in the structural design of the structure. As a result of the damage received, a progressive avalanche collapse can occur in the form of the destruction of load-bearing building structures, leading to the collapse of the entire building or structure or its parts due to the initial local destruction.
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.
