Current Serbian design codes: Transferring from a deterministic to a semi- probabilistic approach [PDF]
Tehnika, 2015 The Serbian design code for reinforced concrete structures is somewhat out-of-date in its approach to structural design. In this paper, a study into the possible transition to a semi-probabilistic approach is presented.
