ABSTRACT: Lifeline systems co and post seismic performance are controlled by the vulnerability and intra-
connectedness of their components. The main objective of this research is the estimation of the expected seis-
mic performance of infrastructure components through a probabilistic approach taking into account their in-
teractions with other lifeline systems. The method proposed is based on the use of adequate interdependency
indices between lifeline systems. They are evaluated using the Analytical Hierarchy Process which is enlisted
in the most popular multicriteria decision making procedures. The notions of pair-wise comparisons, in terms
of verbal or arithmetic preferences, of the production of reciprocal square matrix and the accepted consistency
index and of the systemic vulnerability or vulnerability of interdependent elements are introduced. Fragility
curves of the interdependent components are estimated based on vulnerability functions of independent ele-
ments and the reciprocal square matrix. The applicability of the proposed methodology is illustrated using an
explanatory example.
