Seismic fragility analysis of a typical Indian PHWR containment: Comparison of fragility models

Structural Safety, 2016
Abstract The necessity of performing a detailed seismic fragility analysis of nuclear power plant components is well established in the nuclear industry. This paper focuses on the seismic fragility analysis of the primary containment structure of a typical Indian 700 MWe PHWR.

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 as the peak ground acceleration (PGA), peak ground velocity and pseudovelocity spectrum.

Fragility Analysis and Seismic Record Selection

Journal of Structural Engineering, 2011
This 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, 2006
A 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 ...

Seismic fragility analysis of 3D structures

Structural Safety, 2004
A statistical approach for time-variant system reliability problems is developed and investigated. The basic proposal is to use a response surface, characterised by a statistical model of the mixed type, to represent the capacity in an analytical limit-state function.

Seismic fragility analysis for non-seismically qualified steel structure

Reliability Engineering & System Safety, 1998
Abstract The cooling water (C/W) pumphouse of CANDU nuclear power plants is non-safety related and is only designed to meet the seismic requirements of the National Building Code of Canada (NBCC) for normal industrial plants and public buildings. Based on a feasibility study for CANDU seismic Probabilistic Safety Assessment (PSA), it was decided to ...

Seismic Fragility Analysis of an Existing Bridge Pier

ASPS Conference Proceedings, 2022
The main objective of this paper is to develop the fragility curves for an existing bridge having circular pier by static nonlinear analysis (Pushover Analysis). In this study, a cantilever circular bridge pier which is located in Assam, a highly seismic zone in India is considered for development of seismic fragility curve. Capacity of

Computationally efficient seismic fragility analysis of geostructures

Computers & Structures, 2009
Seismic fragility analysis is considered nowadays as a very efficient computational tool for determining the structural behaviour over a range of seismic intensity levels. There are two approaches for developing fragility curves, either based on the assumption that the structural response follows the lognormal distribution or using reliability analysis
