Seismic fragility analysis of two-story and three-span metro station structures based on IDA method
Based on the non-linear soil-structure interaction model for a two-storey and three-span metro station in a typical underground engineering site, an IDA (incremental dynamic analysis)-based structural seismic fragility analysis method is introduced for ...

Bridge-specific fragility analysis: when is it really necessary? [PDF]
In seismic assessment of bridges the research focus has recently shifted on the derivation of bridge-specific fragility curves that account for the effect of different geometry, structural system, component and soil properties, on the seismic behaviour ...

Seismic fragility of typical bridges in moderate seismic zone
A set of fragility curves for the bridges commonly found in the Central and Southeastern United States (CSUS) is presented. For this purpose, the typical bridges in the region are determined from a bridge inventory, and detail analytical models of the bridges are developed based on experimental and analytical studies. The developed fragility curves can

Seismic Fragility Analysis of Bridge System Based on Fuzzy Failure Criteria
In the traditional bridge seismic fragility analysis, the criterion for judging the structural damage state is clear. That is to say, when the damage index exceeds a specific value, the structure is judged to enter the new damage state.

Seismic fragility curves based on the probability density evolution method
A seismic fragility curve that shows the probability of failure of a structure in function of a seismic intensity, for example peak ground acceleration (PGA), is a powerful tool for the evaluation of the seismic vulnerability of the structures in ...

An efficient methodology to estimate probabilistic seismic damage curves [PDF]
The incremental dynamic analysis (IDA) is a powerful methodology that can be easily extended for calculating probabilistic seismic damage curves. These curves are metadata to assess the seismic risk of structures.
