GB 50068-2018 Unified standard for reliability design of building structures
Basic Information
Scope
1.0.1 This standard is formulated to unify the basic principles, basic requirements, and basic methods for the reliability design of building structures made of various materials, so as to ensure that the structures meet the requirements of sustainable development and comply with the requirements of safety, reliability, economic rationality, technological advancement, and quality assurance. 1.O.2 This standard applies to the design of entire structures, components of structures, and foundation and base courses; it applies to the design during the construction and use phases of structures; and it applies to the reliability assessment of existing structures. The reliability assessment of existing structures can be carried out in accordance with the provisions of Appendix A of this standard. 1.O.3 This standard is formulated based on the principles of the current national standard GB 50153 "Unified Standards for Reliability Design of Engineering Structures", and it constitutes the basic requirements for the reliability design of building structures. 1.O.4 The design of building structures shall adopt the limit state design method based on probability theory and expressed by partial safety factors. When there is a lack of statistical data, the design of building structures can be carried out based on reliable engineering experience or necessary experimental research, or it can also be carried out using empirical methods such as allowable stress or a single safety factor. 1.O.5 When formulating load standards for building structures, structural design standards for various materials, and other related standards, the basic principles stipulated in this standard shall be complied with, and corresponding specific provisions shall be formulated. 1.0.6 In addition to complying with the provisions of this standard, the design of building structures shall also comply with the provisions of the relevant national standards currently in force.
