Abstract


The methods of fault tree and event tree are well-known methods for reliability analysis of technical systems. However, these methods are rarely applied in fire protection systems including fire alarm systems and fire extinguishing systems.

The aim of this paper is to use the hypothetical values of event probability, obtained through qualitative fault tree analysis, in order to obtain results that would indicate which individual events cause sprinkler system failure and which events are the most significant for, or contribute the most to, sprinkler system failure.
