Soft storey building is popular due to the functional and aesthetic purpose, despite its weakness in resisting seismic excitation. Nonlinear Static (Pushover) Analysis (POA) is a time saving and simple assessment procedure prosposed in Eurocode 8 (EC8). However, its reliability in designing structure still remains a question. At the first stage, seismic performance of several building models us...

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...

Safety of the existing corrosion damaged reinforced concrete (RC) bridges during a seismic event is matter increasing concern. To reduce enormous economic loss and casualties, it important to examine potential risk corroded RC bridge structures. This paper presents simplified method determine fragility piers by developing FEM model analysis. make proposed approach realistic, numerical validated...
