2)The collapse of a building can occur in two different ways: over- settlement of the foundation or subsidence of the superstructure. The probability of over-settlement of the foundation during the life of the building is estimated as 0.06+0.01 and the probability of collapse of the superstructure as 0.01+0.01. In addition, if the foundation is oversettled, the probability of collapse of the superstructure will increase to 0.16+0.01. a) What is the probability of collapse of the building in its lifetime? b)lf migration has to occur during the lifetime of the building, what is the probability that it will happen with both modes of failure occurring? c) What is the probability that only one of the two failure modes will occur during the life of the building? Hint: The possible outcomes for this question are within the values given below 0.1589 0.1524 6.1506 0.1515 0.1538 0.1572 0.1614 0.1660 0.1711 0.1765 0.0508 0.0662 0.0812 0.0958 0.1100 0.1238 0.1372 0.1502 0.1628 0.1750 0.0604 0.0781 0.0956 0.1129 0.1300 0.1469 0.1636 0.1801 0.1964 0.2125
