Method solving this integral is rather difficult because of its complexity. In general this integral cannot be computed analytically. is interpreted as minimum distance between central point and limit state surface (Fig. As an alternative to PB, a reliability index is often defined as B= (PB)= (PF), where PF=1PB=∫FfX(x)dx is failure probability and F is the failure set. Probability of non-failure is PB=P(R>S)=P(>0). Generally calculation of probability PB employs probability of failure as a measure and require a knowledge of the joint distribution of all random value parameters. These random values are rather mutually depended. Safety of silo walls than depends on variability of values of random value of loads and strength parameters. Inner forces in double reinforced silo wall.

The technology of repairing cracked walls must take into consideration the model of failure, simple one parameter or complex as series or parallel system models. Taking into account these facts, reducing of strength parameters reduce the service life of the whole reinforced concrete structure causing failure status.

Local and global imperfactions of concrete shells are increasing according to greater number of cracks. Horizontal and vertical cracks allow condensate water infiltrates into wall. Horizontal and vertical cracks can cause corrosion of concrete and steel bars, decreasing stiffness of contraction, bigger deflection, increasing of carbonation of concrete cover and dank of concrete wall.

reduce the carrying capacity of the walls of the silos and causes lower the state of reliability. wind, dynamic character of wind, moisture, influence of construction joints, thermal insulation, chemistry active environmental etc. Some reasons of appearance of horizontal and vertical cracks as temperature, pressure of stored material, live loads e.g. durability of cracked silo walls are one of the most important parameters during designing process, constructional and exploitation time of these shells. Reinforced concrete silos and other shells were built for decades. This paper presents some problems connected with causes of reinforced concrete silos failure.
