Programs for reliability analysis of structural, operational and other systems based on first- and second-order reliability concepts were made available as early as 1976 by the Technical University of Munich. In the meantime and since 1987 by RCP Consult GmbH (RCP) the programs have experienced many revisions, improvements and additional developments. The programs now cover the preparatory steps as well as the computational tasks in technical reliability, decision making under uncertainty and in statistical analysis. Important modules of strurel have also been embedded in the finite element program permas developed and maintained by INTES GmbH (INTES). The programs have been used in structural engineering and code making, in hydrology, operations research, financial planning and mathematical statistics and, in particular, in the nuclear power plant, offshore, ship, automotive and aerospace industry.
