61 Conclusions Target reliability and then the solution is strongly influenced on the considered cases and on the model uncertainty; shifting the considered Q window results vary (even taking into account different number of subintervals can have some effect) for the same case, partial factors γ Q calibrated referring to β and partial factors calibrated referring to P f can differ up to , while γ G factors look very close due to small COV and no model uncertainty ; In general, γ Q values calibrated referring to P f are smaller and less sensitive to model uncertainty than those calibrated with respect β The Φ 1 w i P fi P ft 2 surfaces are characterized by extensive plateau indicating that the region of optimal solutions in terms of probability of failure is much more wide than crudely indicated by the maximum;

62 Conclusions Considering one variable action characterized by high COV and high model uncertainty and one permanent action characterized by small COV could lead to capricious results: in effect, surprisingly, increasing the relevance (case 3) or the relative weights (case 5) of permanent loads results in a moderate increase of γ G and in a much more evident increase of γ Q ; Since the calibration tends to uniform the calculated reliability, it increases the reliability in the region where α Q is high and it reduces the reliability in the region where α Q is low. But, comparing the figures before and after the calibration, it is evident that the decrease of the reliability in region where permanent actions dominates could be unacceptable. In addition, it should be considered that permanent actions are always present and that structures sensitive to them cannot rely on hidden safety.

63 Conclusions Hidden safety resources are often invoked to justify the apparent reduced reliability of structures whose design is dominated by variable actions (characterized by high COV). Disregarding hidden safety could affect effective reliability in high α Q, but, at present, hidden safety cannot be quantified. From the engineering point of view, tackling the calibration of partial factors as a pure mathematical challenge could lead to manifestly bizarre results. As already discussed, in many cases it results γ G < 1, especially when model uncertainty dominates; clearly, such finding cannot be accepted. The procedure, if not accompanied by sound engineering judgement, could lead in a very wrong direction: paradoxically, the effect of an increase of the uncertainty is not only, as expected, an increase of γ Q, but also a parallel, even relatively more pronounced, decrease of γ G.
