Most conventional seismic fragility analyses of RC buildings usually ignore or greatly simplify the soil-structure interaction (SSI), and the maximum interstory drift ratio (MIDR) is often adopted to establish seismic fragility curves.

Seismic Meta‐Fragility Functions
ABSTRACT Fragility functions make for one of the three key components of probabilistic seismic risk analysis, along with hazard and consequence and/or exposure models. They are, in principle, construction‐specific; however, risk analysis is more often performed on a larger (e.g., regional) scale.

Assessing the impact of ground-motion variability and uncertainty on empirical fragility curves [PDF]
Empirical fragility curves, constructed from databases of thousands of building-damage observations, are commonly used for earthquake risk assessments, particularly in Europe and Japan, where building stocks are often difficult to model analytically (e.g.

Structural damages during an earthquake are typically controlled by seismic demands, which are represented by the combination of amplitude of ground motion and cyclic load effects.

Seismic fragility analysis of pile-supported wharf in nearshore liquefiable ground
The seismic fragility analysis has become a research hotspot in structural engineering and bridge engineering, but there are few studies in the field of pile-supported wharf in nearshore liquefiable ground.

Fragility Fractures: Risk Factors and Management in the Elderly. [PDF]
Given the progressive ageing of Western populations, the fragility fractures market has a growing socioeconomic impact. Fragility fractures are common in the elderly, negatively impacting their quality of life, limiting autonomy, increasing disability ...

Redescription of the Triassic cynodont Cistecynodon parvus and reassessment of its phylogeny
Abstract Cynodontia is an important subclade of Therapsida that first occurred in the late Permian. It includes extinct subclades which are the non‐mammaliaform cynodonts and Mammaliaformes, with the latter ultimately giving rise to crown mammals. The systematics of non‐mammaliaform cynodonts has been extensively studied and is relatively well‐resolved,
