Abstract
Alternative procedures for combinations of actions together with reliability elements recommended in the National Annexes to Eurocodes in some CEN countries are investigated using probability-based reliability methods. Presented reliability analyses of structural members indicate that the reliability level of some members might be in some cases lower than the recommended reliability level and should be further calibrated.
