Abstract
The relevant steps for reliability analysis are fwst described referring to a generic system and then applied to typical maritime structures. A picture of the existing codes that suggest target reliability level is supplied to compare reliability estimate with the target value. Reliability methods were applied to a typical rubble mound breakwater and to a typical vertical breakwater. The results have shown that reliability level of maritime structures is low if compared with the target values suggested by codes.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
