B-basis allowables may be used where
Answer: C
Correct answer: The structure has redundant load paths
B-basis allowables are set at 90 per cent survival with 95 per cent confidence, against A-basis at 99 per cent survival. The lower figure is permitted where load paths are redundant, because failure of one member does not fail the structure - the load redistributes. A single load path member, whose failure is the structure’s failure, must be sized on A-basis.
