“…In the paper, the safety parameters O, yi of limit states of a bridge type for a given load ratio are determined by a computer code which incorporates AFOSM (Advanced First Order Second Moment) procedure together with the equivalent normal transformation10). The outlines of the AFOSM structural reliability methods used in this paper are well illustrated in the references7), 8), 11), 13) At the minimum distance point of limit state failure surfaces in the reduced space, Eq. ( 1) becomes R*-SD-S*=0…”
