Abstract:. Fragility curves, commonly derived using analytical methods, are important ingredients of seismic risk analysis of structures in the framework of performance-based earthquake engineering. Hence, the accurate estimation of realistic fragility functions is a decisive step in a reliable risk assessment. This paper proposes a Bayesian updating procedure applied to analytical fragility curves of reinforced concrete (RC) structures based on data from experimental tests, namely shaking table tests. The latter are c… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
