Add to ORKGCurrent design codes are mostly based on a force-based seismic design approach, which accounts for the inelastic capacity of structures by means of a reduction coefficient, i.e. behavior factor. In recent years, there has been a growing interest in assessing the safety margin of code-compliant structures. By overcoming the constraints linked to computational efforts, structural reliability analysis has started to be diffused beyond academia and into practical engineering applications. Consequently, recent studies assessed the level of structural safety implicitly achievable by following design codes and pointed out how current code provisions lead to a non-uniform safety level. For the abovementioned reasons, the present contribution assess...
