Seismic fragility of RC frame structural system

Creators

Description

Seismic fragility of structure is the conditional frequency of its failure for a given value of seismic response parameter, which is generally taken as peak ground acceleration. A method for determining the seismic fragility using deflection based structural analysis (pushover analysis) has been developed. Application of deflection based fragility analysis method is illustrated with an example problem of reinforced concrete frame structures taken from a safety related concrete building of PHWR based nuclear power plant.
