Reliability of Shear Diaphragm made of Trapezoidal Sheets

Various methods of design and verification are applied for light gauge cold formed trapezoidal sheets in the function of shear diaphragms. There is obviously a tendency to compare various design models. Many papers give a qualitative evaluation of comparison of these models. These evaluations are deterministic and can not express this comparison quantitatively. In order to make a justified comparison it is necessary to introduce a reliability methods. The reliability indices are calculated by means of appropriate limit state equations and the collected statistical data. These reliability indices provide a quantitative measure of the reliability degree and give values for comparison.
