Different levels of reliability may be used for the safety and serviceability of the structure. 3.2.4 When there are sufficient statistical data, the reliability of structural components should be measured by the reliability index β. The reliability index used in the design of structural components can be determined based on the reliability analysis of existing structural components, combined with experience and economic factors. 3.2.5 For every level difference in the safety level of various structural components, the value of the reliability index should be different by 0.5. 3.3 Design service life and durability 3.3.1 When designing the engineering structure, the design service life of the structure should be specified 3.3.2 The design service life of building structures, railway bridge and culvert structures, highway bridge and culvert structures and port engineering structures shall comply with the provisions of Appendix A.
