Fragility Data Analysis and Testing Guidelines for Essential Equipment Used in Critical Facilities
Abstract
Fragility data reports from tests of many items of tactical support equipment used at missile sites were reviewed to analyze failure characteristics. This type of equipment is closely related to that used in essential systems of critical facilities. Results were organized to formulate specifications for fragility test report requirements and guidelines for planning fragility tests for the essential equipment of utilities and lifelines used in critical facilities. A method of statistically analyzing fragility data was developed to facilitate calculating the probability of failure when the cause of failure was not consistent or obvious. The proposed specifications and guidelines were to be incorporated into a more complete set of testing specifications to be finished at a later date.
