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 ...

Development of mechanics-based fragility curves for the Italian masonry school asset
Earthquake spectraThis article presents the derivation of a fragility model for the Italian masonry school building asset, comprising 265 sets of fragility curves for as many building types, classified on the basis of few parameters: construction age, number of stories ...

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.

Seismic risk assessment of RC curved bridges through fragility curves
IABSE Reports, 2019<p>It is of great importance that traffic network is still functioning in post- earthquake period, so that interventions in emergency situations are not delayed. Bridges are part of the traffic system that can be considered as critical for adequate post-earthquake response.

Influential Curved Steel Bridge Fragility Analysis Parameters
Forensic Engineering 2012, 2012Past earthquakes have highlighted the susceptibility of curved steel girder bridges to damage from seismic events in the United States. One major part of a regional vulnerability assessment of these bridges could be the completion of sensitivity analyses that assist with identifying their influential seismic response parameters.
