The proceedings contain lectures and short papers presented at the
NATO Advanced Study Institute on "Reliability Theory and Its
Application in Structural and Soil Me chanics", Bornholm, Denmark,
August 31 -September 9,1982. The proceedings are organized in two
parts. The first part contains 12 papers by the invited lecturers
and the second part contains 23 papers by participants plus one
paper from an invited lecturer (la~e arrival). The Institute dealt
with specific topics on application of modem reliability theories
in structural engineering and soil mechanics. Both fundamental
theory and more ad vanced theory were covered. Lecture courses were
followed by tutorial and summary discussions with active
participation of those attending the Institute. Special lectures of
topical subjects were given by a number of invited speake~, leading
to plenary dis cussions and summary statements on important aspects
of application of modem .re liability theory in structural
engineering and soil mechanics. A great number of the participants
presented brief reports of their own research activities.
During a NATO Advanced Study Institute in Izmir, Tur key, July 1973
on Modern Developments in Engineering Seis mology and Earthquake
Engineering it emerged that a debate on Continuum Mechanics Aspects
of Geodynamics and Rock Fracture Mechanics would be very welcome.
Therefore, it was decided to seek NATO sponsorship for an Advanced
Study In stitute on this subject. The purpose of the new Advanced
Study Institute was to provide a link between mechanics of
continuum media and geo dynamic s. By bringing together a group of
leading scientists from the above two fields and participants
actively engaged in research and applications in the same fields,
it was believed that fruitful discussions could emerge to
facilitate an exchange of knowledge, experience and newly-conceived
ideas. The Institute aimed primarily at the solution of such
problems as connected with the study of stress and strain con
ditions in the Earth, generic causes of earthquakes, energy release
and focal mechanism and seismic wave propagation in troducing
modern methods of continuum and rock fracture mechanics. Secondly
to inspire scientists working in continuum mechanics to open new
avenues of research connected with the above problems, and
seismologists to adapt modern, advanced methods of continuum and
rock fracture mechanics to their work."

This proceedings volume contains 33 papers presented at the 3rd
Working Conference on "Rel- iability and Optimization of Structural
Systems", held at the University of California, Berkeley,
California, USA, March 26 -28, 1990. The Working Conference was
organised by the IFIP (Inter- national Federation for Information
Processing) Working Group 7.5 of Technical Committee 7 and was the
third in a series, following similar conferences held at the
University of Aalborg, Denmark, May 1987 and at the Imperial
College, London, UK, September 1988. The Working Conference was
attended by 48 participants from 12 countries. The objectives of
Working Group 7.5 are: * to promote modern structural systems
optimization and reliability theory, * to advance international
cooperation in the field of structural system optimization and
reliability theory, * to stimulate research, development and
application of structural system optimization and reli- ability
theory, * to further the dissemination and exchange of information
on reliability and optimization of structural systems * to
encourage education in structural system optimization and
reliability theory. At present the members of the Working Group
are: A. H.-S. Ang, U.S.A. G. A ugusti, Italy M. J. Baker, United
Kingdom P. Bjerager, Norway R. B. Corotis, U.S.A. C. A. Cornell,
U.S.A. M. Grigoriu, U.S.A. A. Der Kiureghian, U.S.A. O. Ditlevsen,
Denmark D. M. Frangopol, U.S.A. S. Garribba, Italy H. Furuta, Japan
M. R. Gorman, U.S.A. M. Grimmelt, Germany, F. R.
The Proceedings contain 30 papers presented at the 2nd Working
Conference on "Relia.bility and Optimization of Structural Systems"
, London, UK, September 26 - 28, 1988. The Working conference was
organized by the IFIP Working Group 7.5. The Proceedings also
include 3 papers which were submitted, but for various reasons not
presented at the Working Conference. The Working Conference was
attended by 47 participants from 15 countries. The Conference was
the second scientific meeting of a new IFIP Working Group 7.5 on
"Reliability and Optimization of Structural Systems". The purpose
of the Working Group 7.5 is * to promote modern structural system
optimization and reliability theory, * to advance international
cooperation in the field of structural system opti- mization and
reliability theory, * to stimulate research, development and
application of structural system op- timization and reliability
theory, * to further the dissemination and exchange of information
on reliability and optimization of structural system optimization
and reliability theory, * to encourage education in structural
system optimization and reliability the- ory. At present the
members of the Working Group are: A. H. S. Ang, USA M. R. Gorman,

From the Preface: The Proceedings contain papers presented at the
1st Working Conference on "Reliability and Optimization of
Structural Systems," Aalborg, Denmark, May 6-8, 1987. The
conference was the first scientific meeting of the new IFIP Working
Group 7.5 on "Reliability and Optimization of Structural Systems."
The purpose of the Working Group 7.5 is: - to promote modern
structural system optimization and reliability theory, - to advance
international cooperation in the field of structural system
optimization and reliability theory, - to stimulate research,
development and application of structural system optimization and
reliability theory, - to further the dissemination and exchange of
information on reliability and optimization of structural system
optimization and reliability theory, - to encourage education in
structural system optimization and reliability theory.
