ABSTRACT={Our work presents an overview of structural reliability analysis, which plays important roles in structural design. In Part I of the overview, the so-called local reliability methods are summarized. The term “local reliability methods” refers to reliability analysis methods that use the local approximate of actual limit state function in calculation of failure probability. From this perspective of view, the mean value first-order second moment (MVFOSM) method, design pointbased
methods (FORM/SORM and RSM) are included in local reliability methods. Local reliability methods are basic approaches for reliability analysis and commonly used in research and applications.}}
