heal.abstract	In the present paper the weighted integral method in conjunction with Monte Carlo simulation is used for the stochastic finite element-based reliability analysis of space frames. The limit state analysis required at each Monte Carlo simulation is performed using a non-holonomic step-by-step elasto-plastic analysis based on the plastic node method in conjunction with efficient solution techniques. This implementation results in cost effective solutions both in terms of computing time and storage requirements. The numerical results presented demonstrate that this approach provides a realistic treatment for the stochastic finite element-based reliability analysis of large scale three-dimensional building frames.
