Abstract: This paper presents a probabilistic damage analysis method to generate seismic fragility curves of structures. Uncertainties in earthquake and structure are quantified by evaluating uncertainties in parameters that define ...

Abstract: This paper presents a study to develop reliability‐based seismic design criteria for reinforced‐concrete intermediate moment‐resisting frame buildings. The seismic criteria in the LRFD format are established on the basis ...

Abstract: This paper presents a method for assessing the seismic performance of a water delivery system with the aid of Geographic Information System (GIS) technology. In the proposed method, pipe damage from ground shaking and soil ...
