The estimation of reliability in timber structures is a procedure complicated by the time-dependent nature of timber failure, coupled with the complex structural behaviour of timber systems. Prior to the implementation of probabilistic concepts, design recommendations given in British Standards were based on permissible stress design, and a similar procedure of allowable stress design employed in the United States. While permissible stress specifications are easy to use, their application results in an inability to achieve a desired uniform level of reliability. Such situations have led to the implementation of probability-based limit states such as load and resistance factor design (LRFD), based on calculating the ‘probability of failure’....
