A RSM-based reliability analysis approach is applied to evaluate the safety of floating structures considering uncertainties associated with various design variables. Uncertainties in both load and resistance related variables are explicitly considered in the analysis. It is expected to be practically applied in the reliability-based design of real structures including floating structures.
