Analytical versus observational fragilities::the case of Pettino (L’Aquila) damage data database [PDF]
A damage data database of 131 reinforced concrete (RC) buildings, collected after 2009 L’Aquila (Italy) earthquake, is employed for the evaluation of observational fragility curves.

An investigation on vulnerability assessment of steel structures with thin steel shear wall through development of fragility curves [PDF]
Fragility curves play an important role in damage assessment of buildings. Probability of damage induction to the structure against seismic events can be investigated upon generation of afore mentioned curves.

The heuristic vulnerability model: fragility curves for masonry buildings
In the framework of seismic risk analyses at large scale, among the available methods for the vulnerability assessment the empirical and expert elicitation based ones still represent one of most widely used options.

Using full bridge model to develop analytical fragility curves for typical concrete bridge piers
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 proposed methodology for deriving tsunami fragility functions for buildings using optimum intensity measures [PDF]
Tsunami fragility curves are statistical models which form a key component of tsunami risk models, as they provide a probabilistic link between a tsunami intensity measure (TIM) and building damage. Existing studies apply different TIMs (e.g.

Extending displacement-based earthquake loss assessment (DBELA) for the computation of fragility curves [PDF]
This paper presents a new procedure to derive fragility functions for populations of buildings that relies on the displacement-based earthquake loss assessment (DBELA) methodology.

Seismic vulnerability assessment of clustered historical centers: fragility curves based on local collapse mechanisms analyses [PDF]
open5noProtection and preservation of minor historical centres against earthquakes effects are not trivial tasks, particularly in the cases, quite common, of complex aggregate buildings.

A series of earthquakes hit Kumamoto Prefecture on Kyushu Island, Japan on April 14 and 16, 2016. Soon after the 2016 Kumamoto earthquake, municipal governments carried out building damage surveys to issue disaster-victim certificates.

Seismic Vulnerability Assessment of Corruagted Steel Shear Walls Using Fragility Curves [PDF]
Structural damages and subsequently considerable economic losses that ever made in catastrophic seismic events caused reaserchers and codes gradually move from prescriptive design to performance-based design.
