Statistical Analysis of Fragility Curves [PDF]
Journal of Engineering Mechanics, 2000 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.

A reliability assessment of physical vulnerability of reinforced concrete walls loaded by snow avalanches [PDF]
Natural Hazards and Earth System Sciences, 2014 Snow avalanches are a threat to many kinds of elements (human beings, communication axes, structures, etc.) in mountain regions. For risk evaluation, the vulnerability assessment of civil engineering structures such as buildings and dwellings exposed to ...

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 ...

Fragility Assesment of Mid-Rise RC Building using HAZUS Method in High Seismic Zone
Jurnal Bangunan, Konstruksi & Desain, 2023 Earthquake is a pounding that caused by a released energy of ground motion. The earthquake in high seismic zone caused damages and loss of live. Thus, there was important to evaluate the seismic vulnerability of structure before an earthquake was ...
