These are the proceedings of the twenty-first working conference of the International Federation
of Information Processing (IFIP) Working Group 7.5 on Reliability and Optimization of Structural
Systems, which took place at the University of California, Berkeley, USA, on August 19–21, 2024.
This volume contains 15 selected papers from the 20 presentations delivered at the conference.
The conference was supported by Pacific Earthquake Engineering Research (PEER) Center, and
by the University of California, Berkeley, which provided outstanding facilities in the conference
venue and remarkable logistic support throughout the event.
The purpose of the WG7.5 Working Group is to promote modern theories and methods of structural
and system reliability and optimization, to stimulate research, development, and applications in
these areas, to foster the dissemination and exchange of information, and to encourage education
on those subjects.
The main themes of the conference included structural reliability methods, engineering risk and resilience
analysis, Bayesian methods, reliability-based design optimization, and sensitivity analysis,
along with their applications in civil engineering, dynamics, and natural hazards. The conference
facilitated engaging discussions among participants, both during and after the technical sessions.
Notably, a significant number of presentations were delivered by promising young researchers,
who contributed fresh perspectives and innovative ideas to the field.
