Table 4
Calculated probability of serviceability failure (Pf).
| Case parameters | Probability of serviceability failure (Pf) | Cable C10 | Cable C11 | Cable C14 |
| Case 1 (V10 = 12.89 m/s) | Uncontrolled | T = 3,600 s | 8.92x10−6 | 0 | 0 | T = 7,200 s | 1.78x10−5 | 0 | 0 | Passive control (cd =1.5) | T = 3,600 s | 0 | 0 | 0 | T = 7,200 s | 0 | 0 | 0 |
| Case 2 (V10 = 20 m/s) | Uncontrolled | T = 3,600 s | 1 | 9.23x10−1 | 1.65x10−1 | T = 7,200 s | 1 | 9.94x10−1 | 3.04x10−1 | Passive control (cd =1.5) | T = 3,600 s | 4.91x10−1 | 6.20x10−7 | 1.15x10−12 | T = 7,200 s | 7.40x10−1 | 1.24x10−6 | 2.30x10−12 |
| Case 3 (V10 = 36 m/s) | Uncontrolled | T = 3,600 s | 1 | 1 | 1 | T = 7,200 s | 1 | 1 | 1 | Passive control (cd =1.5) | T = 3,600 s | 1 | 1 | 3.59x10−1 | T = 7,200 s | 1 | 1 | 5.89x10−1 |
