Theoretical Models

This section focuses on the general equations and laws that GlassBR is based on.

Safety Probability

Refname	TM:isSafeProb
Label	Safety Probability
Equation	$\mathit{isSafeProb}={P_{\text{f}}}\lt{}{P_{\text{f}\text{tol}}}$
Description	$\mathit{isSafeProb}$ is the probability of failure safety requirement (Unitless) ${P_{\text{f}}}$ is the probability of failure (Unitless) ${P_{\text{f}\text{tol}}}$ is the tolerable probability of failure (Unitless)
Notes	If $\mathit{isSafeProb}$ , the structure is considered safe.

Refname	TM:isSafeLoad
Label	Safety Load
Equation	$\mathit{isSafeLoad}=\mathit{capacity}\gt{}\mathit{Load}$
Description	$\mathit{isSafeLoad}$ is the load resistance safety requirement (Unitless) $\mathit{capacity}$ is the capacity or load resistance ( ${\text{Pa}}$ ) $\mathit{Load}$ is the applied load (demand) or pressure ( ${\text{Pa}}$ )
Notes	If $\mathit{isSafeLoad}$ , the structure is considered safe.
