The paper briefly reviews the proposed non-traditional numerical tool, direct determined probabilistic calculation (DDPC), applicable in the framework of the probabilistic structural reliability assessment method SBRA [4] which allows for checking the reliability by comparing the calculated probability of failure Pf and the target probability Pd defined in specifications. The procedure of the calculation above was published first in [1] and more developed in [2], [3], [5], [6], [7], [12] and [13]. The numerical tool DDPC was developed using Borland Delphi platform. It allows exploring reliability function SF using analytical form in string expression or in DLL (dynamic link library) function.
