Abstract
System reliability evaluation of frames for ultimate collapse by the kinematic approach requires the enumeration of the failure modes, calculation of the probability of failure for each mode and then computation of the overall reliability by suitable aggregation [16]. Practical experience shows that even relatively simple frames have a very large number of failure modes. Identification, enumeration and description of all these modes is a difficult combinatorial problem.
