Blvariate Lognormal Probability Distribution
Publication: Journal of Structural Engineering
Volume 110, Issue 12
Abstract
A procedure for computing structural reliability for the case where the load and resistance (or stress and strength) are lognormally distributed and correlated is presented. Computational steps are outlined and a typical application is illustrated by means of an example problem. The example problem compares the case where the two random variables (load and resistance) are correlated to the case where the correlation between them is zero.
