Abstract
The lecture identifies the need for several fundamental improvements in reliability concepts guarding against quasibrittle failures of structures made of concrete or other quasibrittle materials (fiber composites, ice, rock, etc.) and argues that such improvements should be much more profitable than improvements of accuracy of deterministic aspects of structural analysis.
