Methods of probanbility design and statistical control of reinforced concrete and composite structures lead to material economy and increase in reliability of buildings and constructions. Limit states of construction are to be caused by loads and materialcharacteristics as well as by unfavourable environmental conditions. Methods of assessment, and reliability of statically determined and undetermined systems are discussed. the reliability analysis of structural elements is based on dispersion of material strength properties and geometrical characteristics of elements.
