In a reliability analysis for a proposed concrete retaining wall the following probabilities of failure were obtained. Risk of bearing capacity failure Risk of overturning Risk of sliding failure Pb=0.003 = P = 0.001 = P, = 0.002 Risk of structural concrete failure = P = 0.0005 Determine a value for P₁, the probability of failure of the wall.
