On Reliability-Based Structural Optimization

In this paper a brief presentation of the state-of-the-art of reliability-based structural optimization (RBSO) is given. Special emphasis is put on problems related to application of RBSO on real (large) structures. Shape optimization, knowledge-based optimization and optimal inspection strategies are briefly discussed. A list of 125 references is included in the appendix.
