An approach for calculating the reliability of elastic‐plastic frames loaded statically by the dead load and snow and dynamically by the wind is presented. It is assumed that the wind is described by the Gaussian stochastic process. The algorithm is based on the kinematic formulation of the shakedown problem and random vibration analysis. Structure's reliability is regarded as the probability of no failure. For calculating the reliability the FORM and SORM reliability methods built in the STRUREL system are applied.
