Abstract
The novel procedure for the estimation of structural reliability for high dimensional problems was described. The proofs on the convergence rates of the estimators were provided which was used for the calculation of the failure probability. The upper bounds on the coefficients of variation of the estimators used at intermediate steps as well as for the failure probability were also provided. It was observed that distinct estimators were used for each term of the series.
