Abstract
The exact solution of the reliability of structures under stochastic loading is generally difficult, and various approximate methods have been developed. The most popular are the linearization method, the Monte-Carlo method and its numerous variants. In this paper new modification of the Monte-Carlo method based on asymptotical expansion is examined. Results of mathematical simulation are given.
