Notes: "The text and figures are based on parts of the lecture course "Sicherheit und Zuverlässigkeit im Bauwesen" given by J. Schneider in the 90th to 3rd year students in the Civil Engineering Department of the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology, Zurich (ETHZ). This course was very much influenced by a short course given in Zurich by A. Nowak in 1987"--Page III.

"Translations from the German were done by E.G. Prater, of ETHZ., and Hillary Hart of the University of Texas at Austin, U.S.A."--Page III
