Abstract—This paper reviews the literature published on the
recent modifications made in the field of risk assessment using
Fault Tree Analysis (FTA)in the last decade. This method was
developed in 1960’s for the evaluation and estimation of system
reliability and safety. In this paper we have presented the
general procedure for FTA, its application in various fields
and the modifications that have been made through the time to
overcome the inadequacies of the method. In the last section
some of the future wok is also discussed with a simplified
methodology.
Index Terms—Fault tree analysis (FTA), risk assessment,
reliability and safety, hazard analysis, FTA modification.
