In this paper, the applicable range of the fourth-moment method for structural reliability is investigated and a simple fourth-moment reliability index is suggested. In the applicable range of the fourth-moment method, the simplicity and efficiency of the simple fourth-moment reliability index are demonstrated through several examples.
