ABSTRACT
The structural reliability prediction of load-carrying structures should always be based on the analysis of unfavorable situations which are likely to occur during the construction of buildings and civil engineering works. Due to up-to-date rapid and industrial site work, it is difficult to evade these situations caused by random extreme execution (construction) loads and other actions. In this way, extreme site (execution) action effects (bending and torsion moments, axial and shear forces) during construction may be very great and even greater than those caused by use (service) loads. Thus, it is very probable that the high quality of structures may be guaranteed if they have already withstood unfavorable extreme site situations (Saraf et al. 1996).
