This study deals with selecting optimal seismic retrofit solutions for reinforced concrete (RC) buildings. To this aim, multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) is implemented explicitly considering earthquake-induced economic loss as a decision criterion. Fragility (i.e. likelihood of damage levels vs intensity measure ( IM) levels) and vulnerability (i.e. likelihood of loss levels vs IM levels) relationships are derived by using three increasingly refined analysis methods: Simple Lateral Mechanism Analysis; numerical pushover; time-history analysis. A seismically deficient RC school index building, with construction details typical of developing countries, is used for illustrative purposes. Concrete jacketing, addition of concrete walls, and addition of steel braces are the considered retrofit alternatives. Intensity-based expected loss and expected annual loss are adopted in the MCDM, among other criteria, independently derived with the three analysis methods. It is shown that, given the adopted loss-analysis methodology, the ranking of the retrofit alternatives is insensitive to both analysis methods and loss metrics, even when the weight for the seismic loss criterion is high. These findings suggest that simplified methods can be effectively employed in the conceptual/preliminary design of retrofit alternatives.

For the effective management and maintenance of a transport network, it is important to identify the most at-risk bridges within the network and subsequently to identify the expected losses in case of seismic event. The risk assessment process adopted for this purpose usually makes use of fragility functions obtained from a simplified displacement-based assessment (DBA) procedure and loss models that may be either simple empirical expressions or bridge-specific expressions developed from time-consuming non-linear dynamic analyses. Moreover, the use of simplified loss models is investigated in order to make the loss assessment process applicable to infrastructure networks or large portfolio of bridges. One of the specific features of this paper is the investigation of the state of the art methodologies in seismic loss assessment of bridges and the applicability of simplified loss models.
