Abstract
This paper presents the procedure for determining partial factors for actions depending on the reliability index. Structural reliability classes and the concept of reliability index are described. Based on the analytical terms from EN 1990, the partial coefficients for actions were calculated. The dependence of the partial factors for permanent and variable actions and the reliability index for different coefficients of variation when the load capacity is normally and distributed according to Gumbel is presented.
