Abstract
A method is developed for the analysis of the probability of failure of a lifeline system to potential earthquake hazards. Two modes of failure are considered -- the fault-rupture striking one or more links of a lifeline, and the overstressing of sections of a lifeline caused by high ground shaking during an earthquake.
