Question: Problem 3 The elastic beam in the figure is loaded with uniform load ( W ) and has critical moment capacity ( M ) .

Problem 3 The elastic beam in the figure is loaded with uniform load (W) and has critical moment capacity
(M). Assume that W,L, and M are uncorrelated random variables with
W=2kNm,W=0.4kNm
L=4m,L=0.4m
M=5kN*m,M=0.4kN*m
Calculate the reliability index for the limit state M-Mmax=0 by the first-order reliability analysis. Note that
the limit state is nonlinear in the basic variables. [Hint: use Lagrange multiplier method].
