Seismic Fragility and Risk Assessment of a Nuclear Power Plant Containment Building for Seismic Input Based on the Conditional Spectrum

open access: yesApplied Sciences, 2022
A procedure for the seismic fragility assessment of nuclear power plants by applying ground motions compatible with the conditional probability distribution of a conditional spectrum (CS) is presented with a case study of a containment building.

Seismic Fragility Analysis of Bridge Pier

open access: yesIOP Conference Series: Materials Science and Engineering, 2020
Abstract Bridges are classified as lifeline structures as they need to be functional in an earthquake event. The performance-based analysis of the existing bridges is important for the stakeholders. Information on seismic performance in terms of fragility of existing bridges in the country can provide valuable information to the decision-

SEISMIC FRAGILITY ANALYSIS OF STEEL STORAGE TANKS

open access: yesProceedings of the 5th International Conference on Computational Methods in Structural Dynamics and Earthquake Engineering (COMPDYN 2015), 2015
Earthquakes can cause significant damages to industrial liquid storage tanks resulting in losses of functionality, fires or environmental contamination due to the leakage of hazardous chemicals. Typical damages of ground supported tanks during past earthquakes were in the form of cracking at the corner of the bottom plate and compression buckling of ...
