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. In this case, so‐called typological fragility curves are

Seismic Performance of Transportation Networks
This paper describes a method of evaluating seismic system performance of highway transportation network in California. The basic element that plays a crucial role in this study is the fragility information of highway bridges in Caltrans` (California Department of Transportation) freeway network.

Some considerations on performance-based seismic design
In the last years, a substantial change has been brought in the vision of the design objectives of an engineered facility: from the need to ensure its resistance at a minimum cost in a deterministic context, to the more recent design approaches aimed at ...

ABSTRACT We perform probabilistic seismic hazard analysis (PSHA) in the Shillong Plateau by clubbing the up‐to‐date earthquake data and seismotectonic properties of the study area. Twenty‐one areal seismic sources are delineated based on the updated earthquake catalog, tectonic, and fault plane solutions.

Seismic soil-structure interaction for pile supported systems
Civil engineering structures involve structural elements with direct contact with ground. When the external actions, such as earthquakes, act on these systems, neither the structural displacements nor the ground displacements, are independent of each ...

Seismic response and performance of acceleration-sensitive nonstructural elements (NEs) significantly depend on the features of the seismic input. Damage severity of real records cannot always be associated with levels of intensity measures, such as ...

Sensitivity of 3D Base‐Isolated Buildings to Individual Isolator Variability
ABSTRACT Variability in elastomeric isolators arises from differences in rubber formulation and curing, leading to noticeable changes in stiffness and damping among nominally identical bearings. While most previous studies have examined global isolator variability associated with environmental or aging effects, individual isolator variability has ...
