Abstract
It is very important to take the influence of human error into consideration in order to assure the structural safety. New probabilistic model by which the influence of human error is taken into consideration is proposed. In the new model, occurrence of human error is assumed to have something to do with the quality assurance level of structural material or member. Furthermore, the influences of quality assurance level or the distribution of load effect on the structural safety of RC columns subjected to axial load are numerically examined by use of the proposed probabilistic model.
