This proceedings volume contains 38 papers presented at the 4th Working Conference on "RelƯ iability· and Optimization of Structural Systems", held at the Technical University of Munich, Germany, September 11- 13, 1991. The Working Conference was organised by the IFIP (InternaƯ tional Federation for Information Processing) Working Group 7.5 of Technical Committee 7 and was the fourth in a series, following similar conferences held at the University of Aalborg, DenƯ mark, May 1987, at the Imperial College, London, UK, September 1988 and at the University of California, Berkeley, California, USA, March 1990. The Working Conference was attended by 54 participants from 16 countries. The objectives of Working Group 7.5 are: " to promote modern structural systems optimization and reliability theory, " to advance international cooperation in the field of structural system optimization and reliability theory, " to stimulate research, development and application of structural system optimization and reliƯ ability theory, " to further the dissemination and exchange of information on reliability and optimization of structural systems " to encourage education in structural system optimization and reliability theory. At present the members of the Working Group are: A.H.-S. Ang, U.S.A.M. Grimmelt, FRG G.A ugwti, Italy N.C. Lind, Canada M.J. Baker, UK H.O. Madeten, Denmark P. Bjerager, Norway R.E. Melcher~, Australia C.A. Cornell, U.S.A.F. Mo~e~, U.S.A.
