Wear and reliability of steel structures

A.V. Perelmuter

UkrNIIProekcstiilkonstruktsiya, Kyiv, Ukraine

Abstract
General principles of wear of steel structures are considered. Possible decisions which may be made after assessment of technical state of structures are indicated. Data on the accident rate of basic load-carrying structures are given. It is noted that in the majority of cases the accident rate is not related to the safety factor. In-service monitoring of the technical state of an object is considered to be very important. The necessity of developing regulatory and methodological documents for specification, assessment and maintenance of a certain level of safety of load-carrying structures is substantiated.
Keywords: steel structures, wear, reliability, check, repair, regulatory documents, safety.
