What is it about?
A simple approach to derive fragility curves that take into account damage due to previous earthquakes
Featured Image
Why is it important?
It considers damage in structural elements but it is simpler than non linear diynamic analysis because uses pushover analysis
Perspectives
It is a full application to an existing RC building, demonstrating the possibility to derive fragility curves that depend on damage. Moreover it makes a consistent assessment of the variation of Residual Capacity and Performance Loss due to damage.
