Carl Allin Cornell (September 19, 1938 – December 14, 2007) was an American civil engineer, researcher, and professor who made important contributions to reliability theory and earthquake engineering and, along with Luis Esteva,[3] developed the field of probabilistic seismic hazard analysis by publishing the seminal document of the field in 1968.[4][5]
