A knowledge-based system (KBS) is developed for assistance at the preliminary stage of multistorey office building design. The system generates overall building configurations and then compatible structural system alternatives. The process of structural configuration is followed by an approximate de

## Abstract Reliability analysis of technical structures and systems is based on an appropriate (limit) state function separating the safe and unsafe/states in the space of random parameters. Starting with the survival conditions, hence, the state equation and the condition for the admissibility of
The Stein-Chen method for establishing Poisson convergence is used to approximate the reliability of coherent systems with exponential-type distribution functions. These bounds lead to quite general limit theorems for the lifetime distribution of large coherent systems.
