Seismic fragility of buildings damaged by past earthquakes
Fragility analysis plays an important role in seismic risk assessment. Current fragility models of buildings are mostly focusing on the as-built condition of the structure while ignoring the possibility of having multiple earthquakes during the service life of the structure. However, considering …

Seismic Fragility Assessment for Reinforced Concrete High -Rise Buildings
… and the illustration through an example of the fragility assessment of an existing 54-storey building with a dual core wall system. The set of rigorously derived probabilistic fragilities are the first published for high-rise RC buildings, thus they fill an important void in regional earthquake …

Next generation seismic fragility curves for california bridges incorporating the evolution in seismic design philosophy
Quantitative and qualitative assessment of the seismic risk to highway bridges is crucial in pre-earthquake planning, and post-earthquake response of transportation systems. Such assessments provide valuable knowledge about a number of principal effects of earthquakes such as traffic disruption of …

Numerical and experimental methods for seismic risk assessment of civil and industrial structures
Due to high seismic vulnerability and severity of possible failure consequences, petrochemical installations are often considered as “special risk” plants. Although tanks, pipes, elbows and bolted flanges have been a major concern in terms of seismic design, generally, they have not been analysed …

Semplified seismic Vulnerability Assessment of Masonry Arch Bridges
This study concerns seismic vulnerability assessment of masonry arch bridges with common typologies in Europe. Bridges are, in most cases, the most vulnerable elements in the transportation network during an earthquake; therefore, their seismic vulnerability assessment is necessary for a proper …

Seismic Performance of Anchored Brick Veneer
A study was conducted on the out-of-plane seismic performance of anchored brick veneer with woodframe backup wall systems, to evaluate prescriptive design requirements and current construction practices. Prescriptive requirements for the design and construction of anchored brick veneer are …

Seismic Response and Analytical Fragility Functions for Curved Concrete Box-Girder Bridges
… may lead to significantly different seismic response. Observations from past earthquakes highlighted the seismic vulnerability of these bridges due to this coupled response. The consequence of bridge damage on the performance of transportation system is commonly assessed through …

Bayesian Methods for Intensity Measure and Ground Motion Selection in Performance-Based Earthquake Engineering
… ground motions and Intensity Measures (IM) for seismic analysis. This open-ended nature changes the quantified building performance depending upon the ground motions and IMs selected. So, improper ground motion and IM selection can lead to errors in structural performance prediction and thus to …

Computational Modeling of Glass Curtain Wall Systems to Support Fragility Curve Development
… analytical results obtained were used to support fragility curve development which could aid in multi-hazard PBE design of CWs. A 3D finite element (FE) model of a single panel CW unit was generated including explicit modeling of the CW components and component interactions such as …

Seismic Vulnerability Assessment of As-Built and Retrofitted Multi-Frame Box-Girder Bridges
… In this case, deck unseating is expected if the seismically induced displacements are excessively large. The second case occurs when the two adjacent frames move towards each other. In this case the span pounding can cause localized damage and collisions between two adjacent frames and also …
