Presently, the general seismic fragility evaluation method for a bridge system composed of member elements with different nonlinear behaviors against strong earthquakes has been to evaluate at element-level. This study aims develop system-level that represents structural system. Because behavior bridges is generally divided into transverse and longitudinal directions, this evaluated in both dir...

Abstract Fragility curves are the primary way of assessing seismic risk for a building with numerous studies focused on deriving these fragility and how to account inherent uncertainty in assessment. This study focuses three-story steel moment frame structure performs assessment using new approach called SPO2FRAG (Static Pushover Fragility) that is based pushover analysis. further compared cont...

The corrugated steel plate shear wall (CoSPSW) is a new type of wall, in which plates instead flat are adopted. lateral stiffness and buckling capacity the system could be significantly enhanced, then, under gravity loads would mitigated. This paper presents study on probabilistic assessment seismic performance vulnerability CoSPSWs using fragility functions. damage states corresponding repair ...

Fragility curves, commonly derived using analytical methods, are important ingredients of seismic risk analysis structures in the framework performance-based earthquake engineering. Hence, accurate estimation realistic fragility functions is a decisive *: Bayesian updating considering diffuse prior step reliable assessment. This paper proposes procedure applied to curves reinforced concrete (RC...
