Joint Committee on Structural Safety (original) (raw)

The Joint Committee on Structural Safety (JCSS) is an international scientific and technical association concerned with research, development and best practice in structural reliability in civil engineering. This includes methods for calculating the reliability of structures, but also the discussion and development of recommendations on acceptable reliability (how safe is safe enough). The JCSS has met twice a year since 1971 and coordinates and presents the work done. The JCSS regularly organises workshops to promote and facilitate professional exchange and regularly offers courses.
