Development of Fragility Curves for Reinforced-Concrete Building with Masonry Infilled Wall under Tsunami

A tsunami is a natural disaster that destroys structures and kills many lives in countries the world. risk assessment of building under loading thus essential to evaluate damage minimize potential loss. crucial tool fragility curve. Most curves for force were developed using survey damaged data. This research proposed method developing based on analytical model In development, generic was one-story reinforced-concrete with masonry-infilled walls constructed from structural index, popularly built as residential buildings along west coast southern Thailand. Three levels investigated: masonry infill walls, primary structures, collapses. The wall modeled multisprings represent load-bearing behavior due hydrodynamic pattern. maximum likelihood considering uncertainty type, flow direction, velocity. curve agrees well empirical data Thailand 2004 Tsunami. functions could be adopted assessing mitigation similar against different scenarios future.
