Using full bridge model to develop analytical fragility curves for typical concrete bridge piers
Građevinar, 2018 This study shows the effect of various numerical models on the development of analytical fragility curves for bridge piers. Two distinct models are compared: model with a single degree of freedom, and the proposed full bridge model.

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 ...

Development of fragility curves for localised pull-through failures of thin steel roof battens [PDF]
, 2016 Recent extreme wind events such as tropical cyclones and severe storms have shown that thin steel roof battens fail prematurely at their screw connections to the rafters or trusses. The screw heads connecting the bottom flanges of thin steel roof battens

Fragility assessment for electric cabinet in nuclear power plant using response surface methodology
Nuclear Engineering and Technology, 2019 An approach for collapse risk assessment is proposed to evaluate the vulnerability of electric cabinet in nuclear power plants. The lognormal approaches, namely maximum likelihood estimation and linear regression, are introduced to establish the ...
