The objective of this work is to evaluate the reliability of a nonlinear time variant randomly non-uniform corroded rectangular plate subjected to compressive load. Based on the derived relationship of the ultimate strength assessment of a rectangular plate with surface geometries deteriorated by different degree of random corrosion, location and ages, FORM/SORM techniques are applied to assess the structural reliability accounting for the global ship hull deterioration. The structural system, composed by two different correlated events, is evaluated as a series system.
