Methodology for the development of bridge‐specific fragility curves [PDF]
Earthquake Engineering & Structural Dynamics, 2016 SummaryA new methodology for the development of bridge‐specific fragility curves is proposed with a view to improving the reliability of loss assessment in road networks and prioritising retrofit of the bridge stock. The key features of the proposed methodology are the explicit definition of critical limit state thresholds for individual bridge ...

An approach to derive seismic fragility curves [PDF]
IOP Conference Series: Materials Science and Engineering, 2021 Abstract Seismic risk assessment is needed for the evaluation of disaster management, emergency preparedness and prior retrofitting. Based on feasible collapse mechanisms and calculation of their associated seismic parameter Peak Ground Displacement, the failure analysis of the structure is identified.

A note on families of fragility curves—is the composite curve equivalent to the mean curve? [PDF]
Reliability Engineering & System Safety, 1994 Abstract This paper gives a rigorous proof of something that has been assumed intuitively by workers in seismic PRA; namely, that the ‘mean curve’ of a family of lognormal fragility curves is equal to the so-called ‘composite’ curve. This equality is shown to be equivalent to, and to result from, an obscure but interesting identity property of the ...

Tuning the Fragility of a Glass-Forming Liquid by Curving Space [PDF]
Physical Review Letters, 2008 We investigate the influence of space curvature, and of the associated "frustration", on the dynamics of a model glassformer: a monatomic liquid on the hyperbolic plane. We find that the system's fragility, i.e. the sensitivity of the relaxation time to temperature changes, increases as one decreases the frustration. As a result, curving space provides

Seismic fragility curves based on the probability density evolution method
Vietnam Journal of Mechanics, 2017 A seismic fragility curve that shows the probability of failure of a structure in function of a seismic intensity, for example peak ground acceleration (PGA), is a powerful tool for the evaluation of the seismic vulnerability of the structures in ...

The assessment of fragility curves of the Application of diagonal and chevron viscous damper in steel structures using a metaheuristic algorithm for modification of ground motions [PDF]
Journal of Structural and Construction Engineering, 2021 A proper design of viscous fluid dampers can assure us more efficiency and improvement of structural frames performance. For this purpose, these two common types of steel bracing frames of chevron and diagonal, equipped with viscous fluid dampers, are ...
