英文摘要：

This paper discusses reliability indexes for correlation variables and their relationships. The generalized reliability index vector （GRIV） and a definition of the reliability index were put forward in the generalized n dimensions random space. Formats for its expression as well as a computational model were provided. Reliability indexes for correlation of random variables can be easily analyzed by GRIV, and its influence rules were discovered. Key questions regarding structural system reliability, examples of structural failure of correlation of random variables and a failure mode correlation index are all expressed by GRIV easily and conveniently.
