An effective algorithm for estimating the reliability of frame structures made of an elastic perfectly plastic material is presented. It is assumed that the structure is working in uniaxial state of stress, the material parameters and the limit values of the loads are described by random variables, all loads are acting in a static manner, the probability density functions of all random variables, which describe the structure and loads are known. As the structure reliability measure the probability of failure and corresponding reliability index are regarded. The dead (constant) load and the climatic loads are taken into account.
