Abstract: To gain clear knowledge about the effect of random properties of CFT, reliability analysis of CFT is carried out in the present study. The parametric influences on the CFT should be studied.In most of the previous research, CFT are restricted to a deterministic approach. For reliability analysis, a performance function is used to define. The capacity of the structure was obtained by Experimental results conducted. Resistance function for the structure formulated based on the provisions of Euro code on composite structures. Then the reliability of CFT by using Monte Carlo simulation is carried out. Form the research, it is concluded that fluctuations of such parameters has significant influences on structural reliability of the CFT.

Keywords: CFT, Monte Carlo Simulation, Reliability.
