Fragility Surfaces as Measure of Seismic Performance
Fragility surfaces give the probability of failure for structural or non-structural systems as a function of two parameters, the earthquake magnitude and epicentral distance. These parameters provide a unique characterization of the ground motion. In contrast, the current characterization of the ground motion by a single parameter, e.g., the Peak Ground Acceleration (PGA), can be unsatisfactory...
متن کاملImproved seismic fragility modeling from empirical data
The improved empirical fragility model addresses statistical dependence among observations of seismic performances, which arises from common but unknown factors influencing the observations. The proposed model accounts for this dependence by explicitly including common variables in the formulation of the limit state for individual components. Additionally, the fact that observations of the same...
متن کاملCrack Detection in Earth Dam and Levee Passive Seismic Data Using Support Vector Machines
We investigate techniques for earth dam and levee health monitoring and automatic detection of anomalous events in passive seismic data. We have developed a novel data-driven workflow that uses machine learning and geophysical data collected from sensors located on the surface of the levee to identify internal erosion events. In this paper, we describe our research experiments with binary and o...
متن کاملFragility of a Structure, System, or Component for Seismic Performance
Structural engineers, researchers, code committees, and regulatory bodies have become increasingly interested in performance-based design of structures, systems, and components (SSCs) in the past few years. This has been demonstrated by the publication of codes for the performance-based design of traditional buildings, and by publication of a consensus standard for evaluating the seismic perfor...
متن کاملSeismic Fragility Assessment of Special Truss Moment Frames (STMF) Using the Capacity Spectrum Method
Fragility curves represent the probabilities that structural damages, under various levels of seismic excitation, will exceed the specified damage states by means of earthquake intensity damage relations. Conceptual aspects related to seismic vulnerability, damage and risk evaluation are discussed first, together with a short review of the most widely used possibilities for the seismic evaluati...
