Nov 03,  · In this assessment procedure, as the accuracy of evaluation increases in higher tiered approaches, so does the cost and the safety of the structure. Safety refers to the degree of accuracy and reliability in the assessment, while cost refers to the fiscal policy, computational time, and workload.

Reliability-based assessment should minimize costs by reducing conservatism, while ensuring levels of safety equivalent to those for new designs. Concrete buildings can require structural assessment for a number of reasons including in-creased loading due
