Non-Linear Static Methods for Seismic Fragility Analysis and Reliability Evaluation of Existing Structures

Abstract eng:
Probabilistic approaches are more and more popular for seismic assessment of existing structures and specific methods have been properly developed for earthquake engineering. However, such methods generally require a huge number of non-linear time-history analyses which can be very time-consuming. Consequently, the present paper proposes a practical method based on static (pushover) analyses; a sample application shows the comparison about fragility and reliability evaluation obtained through static and dynamic approaches.
