This is a conceptual development of a feature, intended for integration into structural reliability software (e.g., a digital code-checking or probabilistic design module). The JCSS (Joint Committee on Structural Safety) probabilistic model code provides a unified basis for reliability-based design. jcss model code

Brenda Gunn, the director of the Albert and Shirley Small Special Collections Library and the Harrison Institute for American History, Literature and Culture, explores how students can approach the collections with curiosity, and how this can deepen their understanding of history. From exhibitions to the broader museum world, she reflects on the vital work of archivists in ensuring that even the quietest and oppressed voices are heard.Â
