Statistical Analysis of Fragility Curves
This paper presents a statistical analysis of structural fragility curves. Both empirical and analytical fragility curves are considered. The empirical fragility curves are developed utilizing bridge damage data obtained from the 1995 Hyogo-ken Nanbu (Kobe) earthquake.

Seismic assessment of reinforced concrete buildings using fragility curve [PDF]
Fragility curves are usually used to determine the vulnerability of structures. But defining failure criteria is of great importance in seismic vulnerability which probability of exceeding from these failure criteria is considered as the basis of ...
