This chapter presents and discusses the principles, methods and the associated limitations that currently are seen as the state-of-the-art in structural safety. The basis for understanding the design philosophy of modern design codes is provided. Innovative concepts in safety, starting with definitions of risk, reliability, fragility and a new definition of structural robustness are presented. Uncertainties are discussed and a risk management framework for structural design is proposed. A probabilistic structural design philosophy is presented detailing a new methodology for analysing structural fragility and the robustness of structures against failure. An example is presented determining the robustness of a falsework structure against collapse. Strategies to enhance structural robustness and structural safety are given. An improved design methodology for temporary structures is presented and detailed, and an example is provided. Finally, the chapter discusses the use of reduction factors when determining design action values for the design of temporary structures.
