Description
An event tree model is presented in this paper to assess the failure probabilities from seismic events of single and multiple component safety systems. The ground motion, response spectra, and failure criteria are treated as probabilistic quantities. The model is applied to a Canadian site and failure probabilities are predicted for several levels of design. The sensitivity of uncertainties in the input data on the failure probabilities is also investigated. (author)
