The paper describes in detail and gives examples of the probabilistic assessment of a steel construction subject to fatigue load, particular attention being paid to cracks from the edge and those from surface. This information is used as a basis for proposing a system of inspections. The newly developed method Direct Optimized Probabilistic Calculation (DOProC) is used for solution.
