Abstract
The construction criteria and the two major evaluation methods of fault trees are briefly discussed. The equations of the basic logic units (OR-gate and AND-gate) of the tree are derived. The probability evaluation and the failure rate evaluation methods are each illustrated by means of a simple example. The effect of active redundancy on the failure rate of a system and its calculation methods are discussed in more detail.
