Abstract
ENVIRONMENT, the third component of any S-L-E system, has been very little studied from the point of view of structural reliability. We can even say that it has been neglected. Only little attention has been paid to the environmental aspects of constructed facilities. The result is a poor level or entire absence of clauses concerning environmental concepts in structural design codes and other documents. However, the economical importance of the environmental factors entering design is often significant and determining the design solutions.
