Seismic Risk Analysis Method Using Both PGA and PGV


Abstract eng:
In order to improve the accuracy of risk analysis, authors propose a seismic fragility analysis method using two ground motion intensity measures; peak ground acceleration (PGA) and peak ground velocity (PGV), for which many attenuation relations have been developed. Monte-Carlo simulation is carried out to obtain the fragility planes that show the relationship among PGA, PGV and the conditional probability of failure for model RC building. It is found that PGV is adequate in expressing the fragility for severe damage though both PGA and PGV are adequate for slight damage.
