On the importance of uncertain factors in seismic fragility assessment
Reliability Engineering and System Safety, 2013Abstract This paper addresses the definition of importance measures for helping the modeller to detect the factors on which to focus modelling activity and data collection in seismic fragility analysis. We study sensitivity measures consistent with the decision-support criteria of interest, namely, the (mean) fragility curve and the “High Confidence ...

PDF interpolation technique for seismic fragility analysis of bridges
Engineering Structures, 2007 This study presents a probability density function (PDF) interpolation technique for the evaluation of seismic fragility curves as a function of the return period. Seismic fragility curves have been developed in terms of various seismic intensities, such

Seismic Fragility and Behavior of Spherical Pressure Vessels
Volume 5: Operations, Applications, and Components; Seismic Engineering; Non-Destructive Examination, 2021Abstract Pressurized tanks are vessels that show high impermeability and strength against large internal pressures. These tanks can be used for liquid or gas storage. The internal pressures of the vessels used in gas storage can be at very high levels. These tanks are used in many different areas in the industry.

SEISMIC FRAGILITY ASSESSMENT OF MEDICAL COMPONENTS
Proceedings of the 5th International Conference on Computational Methods in Structural Dynamics and Earthquake Engineering (COMPDYN 2015), 2015Shake table tests on a full scale three-dimensional model of a consultation room has been carried out at the University of Naples, Federico II ,Italy . The sample room con-tains a number of typical medical components, which are either directly connected to the panel boards of the perimeter walls or are simple free-standing elements.

Fragility Analysis and Seismic Record Selection
Journal of Structural Engineering, 2011This paper explores the influence of spectrum-matched and amplitude-scaled ground motions on the development of fragility functions for structures. The quantification of the influence of these two types of ensembles on ground motions in predicting demands of structural and nonstructural systems is addressed.

Seismic Fragility Analysis of Structural Systems
Journal of Engineering Mechanics, 2006A method is presented for the evaluation of the seismic fragility function of realistic structural systems. The method is based on a preliminary, limited, simulation involving nonlinear dynamic analyses performed to establish the probabilistic characterization of the demands on the structure, followed by the solution of a general system reliability ...

Bridge fragilities to network fragilities in seismic scenarios: An integrated approach
Engineering Structures, 2021Abstract As significant uncertainties are associated with the factors governing the operational characteristics of bridges following earthquakes, it is important to compute the reliability of transportation networks as a function of bridge fragility. A novel framework for the computation of transportation network fragilities following earthquakes is ...

Seismic fragility of traction elevators
Earthquake Engineering & Structural Dynamics, 2015SummarySecond‐generation performance‐based earthquake engineering (PBEE‐2) requires a library of component fragility functions to estimate probabilistic damage to a wide variety of building components. The present work draws on a large body of (mostly) post‐earthquake reconnaissance and (some) post‐earthquake survey observations of traction elevators ...

Seismic performance by fragility surfaces
2014A method is developed for constructing fragilities as functions of two parameters, source-to-site distance, r, and moment magnitude, m. The method is based on a seismological model for site ground motion and seismic activity matrices available from USGS.
