The paper presents the procedure of calculating reliability index for a sheet pile wall loaded with a horizontal force. The procedure is carried out with the equations representing the ultimate and serviceability limit states. The calculation of the reliability index related to bearing capacity limit state was based on a response surface made of the largest bending moments in a sheet pile wall, while the reliability index of serviceability limit state was obtained by forming another response surface involving the maximum horizontal displacements of pile heads. The global reliability index was calculated with the use of the appropriate equations derived from system reliability analysis.
