Definition Of

An analytical method to obtain the seismic fragility curve of reinforced concrete frames with service life was proposed in this paper. Considering the variation of nonlinear mechanical characteristics of un-carbonated concrete with service life, the seismic fragility curve of frames was developed based on the interstorey drift corner in the weak storey of frame structures. According to the damage state definition of frames, each seismic fragility curve reflects the probability tendency of the defined damage state happening in frames with service life. It is helpful for the seismic performance analysis of reinforced concrete frames to use the proposed method.

An analytical method was proposed to obtain the seismic fragility curve of reinforced concrete frames within the service life. Considering the variation law of nonlinear mechanical characteristics of un-carbonated concrete within service life, the seismic fragility curve of frames was developed based on the inter-storey drift corner in the weak storey of frame structures. According to the defined frame damage states, each seismic fragility curve reflects the probability change tendency of the defined damage state in frames within service life. A numerical example was modeled to illustrate the variation characteristic of seismic fragility within the service life.

A seismic fragility curve that shows the probability of failure of a structure in function of a seismic intensity, for example peak ground acceleration (PGA), is a powerful tool for the evaluation of the seismic vulnerability of the structures in nuclear engineering and civil engineering. The common assumption of existing approaches is that the fragility curve is a cumulative probability log-normal function. In this paper, we propose a new technique for construction of seismic fragility curves by numerical simulation using the Probability Density Evolution Method (PDEM). From the joint probability density function between structural response and random variables of a system and/or excitations, seismic fragility curves can be derived without the log-normal assumption. The validation of the proposed technique is performed on two numerical examples.
