First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method of managing a structure having an infrastructure system, said method comprising:
- identifying a plurality of candidate components configured to provide redundancy to the infrastructure system, such that, a reliability level of the structure is increased through inclusion of the plurality of candidate components in the infrastructure system;
evaluating reliability levels of the structure with a plurality of different combinations of candidate components; and
managing the structure based upon the evaluated reliability levels.

Abstract
In a method of managing a structure having an infrastructure system, a plurality of candidate components configured to provide redundancy to the infrastructure system are identified. Reliability levels of the structure are evaluated with a plurality of different combinations of candidate components. In addition, the structure is managed based upon the evaluated reliability levels.
