In this chapter we will discuss, at some detail, the concept of stochastic safety factor, independently introduced by Birger (1970) and Maymon (2002). It differs for the central safety factor, extensively discussed in Chapters 3–5, and constitutes one of the four possible definitions of the safety factor in the probabilistic context, as briefly exposed in Section 3.2.
