Line 36:
The safety factors for material strength vary depending on the material and the use it is being put to and on the design codes applicable in the country or region.
 
A more sophisticated approach of modeling structural safety is to rely on [[structural reliability]], in which both loads and resistances are modeled as probabilistic variables.<ref name=":0">{{Cite book|title=Melchers, R.

Furthermore, its calculations are more computation intensive.
