Modern reinforced concrete structural systems, formed by various slender members (i.e. columns, piers, frame legs, etc.), are used more frequent than ever. Effects of external forces on these structures are significantly dependent on their deformations. Reliability assessment of these structures should be based on equilibrium of internal and external forces acting on deformed structure. Rapidly growing potential of computer technology allows utilize fully probabilistic methods of reliability assessment of structures. Subject of this paper is study demonstrating probabilistic reliability analysis of a continuous reinforced concrete frame exposed to random variable loads. As well, other input quantities (e.g. material and geometrical properties) are considered as random variables. Solution of this problem is based on the fully probabilistic SBRA (Simulation-Based Reliability Assessment) method allowing direct determination of structure reliability.
