Development of Fragility Curves for Buildings Based on Damage Survey Data of a Local Government After the 1995 Hyogoken-Nanbu Earthquake

Abstract

This paper presents fragility curves for buildings based on damage data due to the 1995 Hyogoken −Nanbu Earthquake ． Tlie fragility curves in terms of the structural type and construction period were constructed using the building damage data of Nada Ward surveyed by Kobe City for the purpese of property 1ax reduction ． 1I was also demonstrated that the number of damaged buildings in ． Nada Ward estimated by the fragility curves fus the actual damage by the earthquake ， The frag 正 lity curves thus obtained may be useful f () r damage assessments of buildings in Japan ． Keywords ' the 1995 Hyogoken −Nanbu Earthquake ， bttitding damage ， strong gr (冫und motion ， Nada 肱 嘱 加 8 "ity curve ， damage a ∬ ε∬ ments 兵

Accessibility Assessment of Emergency Vehicles in Tokyo Metropolitan Area After a Large Earthquake

“…The probability of building collapse P R (PGV) is estimated from the value of Peak Ground Velocity (PGV), the structure material (wood, reinforced-concrete, or steel) and the construction year of a building (Murao and Yamazaki, 2000). Figure 1.…”

The 2007 Noto Peninsula, Japan, Earthquake (Mw 6.7): Damage to Wooden Structures

“…PGV values are taken from the larger horizontal component of the strong-motion record. Because the strong-motion network at the time of the Kobe earthquake (1995) was not as dense as these days, PGV values for the Kobe earthquake were estimated from damage ratio functions of oneor two-story buildings (Murao and Yamazaki 2000). The PGV values for the 2000 western Tottori earthquake were estimated from overturned tombstones (Hayashi 2004).…”

Reliability assessment of RC frames rehabilitated by eccentrically braces having vertical shear link

“…The most appropriate approach for evaluating the influence of earthquake-resistant structural system becomes possible with reliability analysis, because reliability analysis can easily reflect the uncertainties which exist in seismic loading and structure capacity. Seismic performance assessment based on reliability is performed by using the information obtained from past earthquakes investigation [27,33]. Therefore, for seismic performance reliability assessment, the full coupling between a finite element analysis and common reliability methods such as the Monte Carlo simulation method (MC) and Hasofer-Lind should be used.…”
