%X This paper presents a newly developed method to evaluate reliability of complex systems composed of independent three-state devices. The method is demonstrated with the aid of a hypothetical example of a complex system. In addition, the impact of unit (i.e. three-state device) open and short mode failure probabilities on bridge network reliability is shown.<p />
