Figure 3 – Nonlinear dynamic analysis of a 1/3 four-storey building in the X direction: principal positive strain contours of the prototype (a), of the Cauchy-Froude mock-up (b) and of the Cauchy mock ...

‌Seismic hazard assessment in regions with sparse seismicity is challenging due to large uncertainty, which results from our incomplete understanding and experience about the nature of these events.

Keywords: Fragility curves. Bridges. Seismic performance. Nonlinear dynamic analysis. Parameter estimation. Highways. Expressways. Abstract: This report applies both empirical and analytical fragility ...
