A structure's efficiency is strongly influenced by the respective level of reliability. In Germany, this level is defined in DIN 1055‐100 and is valid for all structure types in common construction. Considering that this level represents a compromise solution of economy and safety aspects, the question that arises is whether an overall requirement in reliability is adequate. In this paper, the optimization potential is exemplarily assessed for a concrete structure, due to different utilizations of the structure and thus different failure scenarios. The level of reliability is optimized and the saving potential is analyzed.
