Abstract:One of the most important tools for determining the vulnerability of structures to earthquakes is use of fragility curves. Considering the importance of existing masonry arch bridges in transportation networks, in this research, the process of determining the fragility curve by the analytical method through using the discrete element method (DEM) is discussed. The seismic behavior of two railway bridges is investigated using the incremental dynamic analysis method (IDA). Bridge A is smaller and is totally 66.7… Show more
