To study the parameter randomness and their spatial variability and correlation in practical engineering, a reliability analysis method of long-span cable-stayed bridges considering random fields was proposed by combining random field theory and reliability theory. The accuracy and applicability of the method were verified through case studies. Considering pile-soil interaction, the method was applied to the Sutong Yangtze River Highway Bridge for reliability and parameter sensitivity analysis. The results indicate that the method is applicable to the reliability analysis of long-span cable-stayed bridges. The influence of pile-soil interaction on the reliability index is small. Neglecting the parameter randomness and their spatial variability and correlation can underestimate the structural reliability under normal service limit states. The reliability index of cable-stayed bridges is most sensitive to the cross-sectional area of the main girder in the mid-span segment, and the mean value and standard deviation of the vehicle load. Changes in the vehicle load variation coefficient and the random field correlation length can affect the reliability index.
