dc.description.abstract One of the most important tasks for the civil engineers is designing structures. Designing structures is conducted according to the technical regulations of the country.Safety and reliability of those structures will mostly depend upon safety and reliability of those regulations.Therefore it is very important to give attention to the safety and reliability of the structures during making of the regulations.Bosnia and Herzegovina (B&H) is in the process of adjusting its technical regulations to the regulations adopted in the EU, which implies definition of the safety format for the B&H regulations based on recommended values given in EC 0 - EN 1990:2002.Therefore it is necessary to conduct careful safety analysis of the regulations, that is their calibration with values of resistance and loads from our country.This paper examines is it possible to directly accept proposed safety format from EUROCODE in new structural design codes for reinforced concrete structures in B&H by using CodeCal, a Microsoft Excel based program that can be obtained for free at the webpage of the Joint Committee on Structural Safety (JCSS).This analysis was conducted for the reinforced concrete structures, based on values of resistance and loads from B&H and safety format from the EUROCODE.Analysis showed that even do the reliability of concrete compressive strength in B&H is less than in the European countries it is possible to directly accept proposed safety format from EUROCODE, and still have high level of safety for the concrete structures.
