Abstract:

This paper presents an analytical method to generate seismic fragility curves for shear wall structures. Uncertainties in earthquake motion and structure are quantified by evaluating uncertainties in pertinent parameters which define earthquake-structure system. For illustration, the fragility curves for a eight-story shear wall building are constructed.
