Abstract： In the present work, the research developments of engineering reliability in the past century were systematically recalled, and basic ideas and methodologies for global reliability research of engineering structures since the mid-1960s were investigated. On this basis, the physically-based synthesis method for the global reliability analysis of engineering structures was proposed. This method integrates the physical and mechanical mechanisms of structural behaviors, the physical failure criteria from material damage to structural failure, and the propagation law of randomness inherent in physical systems. Therefore, a new theoretical system for the global reliability analysis of engineering structures was completely established. The fundamental framework and essential equations of this theoretical system were introduced systematically, and for illustrative purposes, typical case studies on practical applications were presented briefly.
