Earthquake Spectra, 2021
Seismic fragility of mobile (manufactured) homes is investigated. Compiled is a catalog of home performance in past earthquakes. Intensity measures causing damage are characterized by peak ground acceleration and velocity. Damage is defined as when the home is knocked out of position necessitating repairs and re-installation.

Intensity measure conversion of fragility curves
Earthquake Engineering & Structural Dynamics, 2020SummaryIn seismic risk assessment of structures, fragility functions are the probabilistic characterization of vulnerability at the component and/or structural level, expressing the probability of failure as a function of a ground motion intensity measure (IM).

Functional Fragility Curves for Production Capacity
2021In this chapter, the “Functional fragility curve (FFC)” was proposed to directly capture the relationship between seismic intensity and the probability of exceeding the damaged states relating to the business activity level. The statistical characteristics of the FFC were investigated based on the data accumulated after the two earthquakes in Japan ...

Generation of hazard-consistent fragility curves
Soil Dynamics and Earthquake Engineering, 1994Abstract This paper presents an analytical method for generating fragility curves of structures. In the proposed method, seismic sources, path attenuation, local soil conditions, and nonlinear building behavior are systematically considered. The uncertainties in the earthquake-site-structure system are quantified by considering the uncertainties in ...

Fragility Curves of RC Bridges in México
Applied Mechanics and Materials, 2022Large earthquakes have epicenters on the Pacific Coast of Mexico and many of them are responsible of damages in reinforced concrete (RC) bridges. The Pacific Coast is a highly active seismic zone where most of the strong earthquakes in the country occur.

Fragility Curves for Residential Masonry Chimneys
Earthquake Spectra, 2018Chimney behavior is studied via computer simulations to quantify the effects of specific parameters, including chimney height above roof, masonry flexural tensile strength, chimney section dimensions, vertical steel reinforcement, and chimney-house anchorage strength. All of these parameters are found to affect performance.
