Abstract: In this paper addressing how to predict structural reliability and based upon thorough research, the four most common types of load stresses are integrated into three related models, using Turkstra's rule. Predictions of the combined loads are calculated, both with and without strength degeneration, using Turkstra's method and the stress-strength interference theory. An illustration is provided, demonstrating that the predictive models are practical, feasible, and consistent with standard engineering practices.

Keywords: stochastic loads, combined stochastic loads, structural dynamic reliability, predictive model.
