Seismic Fragility Analysis of Bridge System Based on Fuzzy Failure Criteria
Advances in Civil Engineering, 2019 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.
