Le calcul aux états limites consiste d'abord à définir les différents états limites à considérer dans le dimensionnement d'un ouvrage et ensuite à vérifier qu'aucun état limite ne sera dépassé. (...) En fait, dans le calcul aux états limites, le concept de "coefficient de sécurité" n'est pas utilisé; il a été remplacé par le concept de "probabilité de rupture". 1, record 1, French, - calcul%20aux%20%C3%A9tats%20limites
