Research Brief: Generating Component-level Building-specific Fragility Curves
(2020-11)
One of the most essential tools for representing the vulnerability of a structure is the fragility curve. By capturing the probability of damage at a given load level, fragility curves provide a way to express how a ...
Research Brief: Generating Building-specific Fragility Curves
(2019-05)
Fragility curves represent a structure’s likelihood of damage under a range of load levels—like those from natural hazards. They, therefore, help to set building code safety factors, resiliency ratings, and even insurance ...
Research Brief: Creating Customized Fragility Curves for Resilient Building
(2018-11)
Fragility curves, which are a statistical tool that represent the probability of exceeding a certain level of structural damage due to various forces applied to a building, are used to assess anticipated building performance. ...
