Are seismic fragility curves fragile?
Probabilistic Engineering Mechanics, 2021 Abstract A hypothetical seismic site is constructed for which the probability law of the seismic ground acceleration process X ( t ) is specified. Since the seismic hazard is known, the performance of the incremental dynamic analysis- (IDA) and multiple stripe analysis- (MSA) based fragilities, which are used extensively in Earthquake ...

Mind, 2021 Abstract This paper explores the principle that knowledge is fragile, in that whenever S knows that S doesn’t know that S knows that p, S thereby fails to know p. Fragility is motivated by the infelicity of dubious assertions, utterances which assert p while acknowledging higher-order ignorance whether p.

Evaluation of Damage Limit State for RC Frame Based on FE Modeling
Buildings, 2021 Many damage limit states have been defined to characterize the extent of damages occurred in RC frame. Some of the damage limit states are defined by models that relate the limit states with the control points. Both control points and the limit state are

Spectral—Fragile—(Un)homely: The Haunting Presence of Francesca Woodman in the House and Space2 Series [PDF]
Avant, 2017 In the House and Space2 photographic series, Francesca Woodman captures the environments that may be considered disruptive; still, it is a female model—in her inconstant poses, always partially blurred or hidden—that holds the viewer’s attention.

Per un umanesimo della fragilità. La fragilità come virtù politica [PDF]
Democrazia e Diritti Sociali, 2023 How did we come to lose fragility as a constitutive value in the formation of the human being, reducing it to little less than a character defect to be treated?
