Method of reliability coefficients with adjustable values for steel structures design by V. V. Nadolski

“…The analysis of the generalized function of the limiting state of the steel element by the probabilistic method showed that the sensitivity coefficients change significantly with the change in the loading parameter (characterizing the ratio of variable loads to the total), while it changes slightly depending on the type of variable load itself. Sensitivity coefficients can be assumed based on graphs or simplified dependencies presented in this study. …”
