Adopts ISO 2394:2015 is to provide a risk and reliability-informed foundation for decision making concerning design and assessment of structures in the context of specific projects.
The principles and appropriate instruments to ensure adequate levels of reliability provide for special classes of structures or projects where the common experience base need to be extended in a rational manner.
In particular, a risk framework has been introduced which is scenario based, facilitates unified modelling approaches over different applications, accounts for consequences of both a direct and indirect nature, and has emphasis on robustness.
Whereas requirements to safety and reliability in the previous edition of this International Standard took their basis in efficiency requirements of a heuristic character, these are now based on risk considerations and socio-economics. This, in turn, facilitates a more relevant use of the International Standard in the context of sustainable societal developments and adaptation for application of the International Standard in different nation states in accordance with economic capacity and preferences.
