Question: Q 3 ) ( 3 0 P ) Consider the structure shown in Figure. The distributed load, w , is random variable with mean value

Q3)(30P) Consider the structure shown in Figure. The distributed load, w, is random variable with mean value =6.5kft and COV=0.18. Assume other loads can be neglected. Both members are made of perfectly ductile material. For beam AC, consider only the negative moment at point B(do not consider the maximum positive moment between A and B). The mean-moment carrying capacity at B, RAC, is 100k-ft and its COV is 18 percent. Tension member DB is made up of two parallel bars, each with the mean tensile strength of 60k and COV=0.10. Calculate the system reliability index assuming that all members are uncorrelated.
