      abstract = {This volume presents the proceedings of the 18th  International Probabilistic Workshop (IPW), which was held  in Guimarães, Portugal in May 2021. Probabilistic methods  are currently of crucial importance for research and  developments in the field of engineering, which face  challenges presented by new materials and technologies and  rapidly changing societal needs and values. Contemporary  needs related to, for example, performance-based design,  service-life design, life-cycle analysis, product  optimization, assessment of existing structures and  structural robustness give rise to new developments as well  as accurate and practically applicable probabilistic and  statistical engineering methods to support these  developments. These proceedings are a valuable resource for  anyone interested in contemporary developments in the field  of probabilistic engineering applications.},
