Given the growing spread of glass as a construction material, knowledge structural response must be ensured, especially under dynamic accidental loads. In this regard, an increasingly popular method to probabilistically characterize seismic given structure is based on use “fragility” or “seismic vulnerability” curves. Most existing applications, however, typically refer and members composed tra...

Abstract The probability of light damage to unprepared, unreinforced masonry structures exposed induced seismicity due gas extraction in the north Netherlands is still under investigation. Repeated seismic excitations caused by frequent, and nearby earthquakes have been linked economical losses societal unrest particular, with extensive claims. Moreover, damaging potential events has related co...

Abstract This paper presents a novel hybrid-based methodology devoted to develop urban fragility curves and damage probability matrices predict likelihood seismic scenarios for small medium Italian centres, considering URM buildings only. The concept of curve consists single mean-representative the an entire area accounting combinations building classes their percentage, then they differ from t...

Abstract Earthquake is a natural disaster that can induce immense damage to properties and human lives. Fragility curve, defined as the probability of reaching or exceeding specific state under an earthquake excitation, provides prediction may occur during earthquake. Incremental Dynamic Analysis Curve (IDA curve) developed from analysis be considered initial step fragility curve development. T...

Offshore wind turbines (OWTs) must withstand harsh environmental loads over their 20- to 30-year design life. Fragility analysis investigates the probability of damage a range hazard intensities and is integral performance-based engineering approach. The focus this paper on monopiles, which are widely used support OWTs in water depths up around 40m. presents fragility monopiles extreme storms t...
