... into life saving activities. Finally, an example is given where the introduced concepts are used for the purpose of determining the target reliability index for individual mooring lines taking into account the direct and indirect consequences of failure of the mooring system for a considered generic FPSO...

... 22 05 2009 A calibration method which uses the so-called inverse FORM approach is proposed. The objective is to find the design point on a hypersphere in U -space, whose radius is the target reliability index, which maximizes the response that the structural system must withstand...
