A reliability assessment of physical vulnerability of reinforced concrete walls loaded by snow avalanches [PDF]
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 ...

Developing tsunami fragility curves based on the satellite remote sensing and the numerical modeling of the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami in Thailand [PDF]
The 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami damaged and destroyed numerous buildings and houses in Thailand. Estimation of tsunami impact to buildings from this event and evaluation of the potential risks are important but still in progress.

Fragility Assesment of Mid-Rise RC Building using HAZUS Method in High Seismic Zone
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 ...

Influences of site conditions and ground-motion frequency characteristics on structural fragility
Site conditions and ground-motion frequency characteristics play a significant role in structural response and seismic damage distribution. However, the current structure fragility analysis techniques have hardly considered such effects. Taking the ratio
