Abstract: Vulnerability assessment of the structure is the most important and wide area of research which requires more input from the engineers and seismologist. The seismic vulnerability assessment of the structure can be evaluated by developing Fragility curves. Fragility curves shows the conditional probability of the structure exceeding the particular performance limit of the given damage state during strong ground motions. Fragility curves can be developed for different parameters like spectral displacement (Sd), spectral acceleration (Sa) Peak ground acceleration (PGA) , Inter storey drift ratio (IDR) etc. This paper describes about the different methods used in deriving the Fragility curves like conventional methods, Nonlinear Dynamic analysis methods and Nonlinear Static analysis methods. Also the fragility analysis of 5 Storied Steel Moment Resisting Frame (SMRF) has been carried out based on the parameters suggested by HAZUS M.H 2.1. Nonlinear static pushover analysis of the frame has been carried out in ETABS2016. Fragility curves are developed based on the pushover analysis results. The damage states defined as per HAZUS are Slight damage (SD), Moderate damage (MD) Extensive damage (ED) and Complete damage (CD). After carrying out the fragility analysis for the steel SMRF, it has been found out that, as the spectral displacement increases probability of failure for the slight damage of the structure is very high and the probability of failure for the complete damage is very low. Hence the probability of failure of the structure reduces from slight damage to complete damage. Keywords: Fragility curves, vulnerability assessment, Nonlinear static pushover analysis, HAZUS M.H 2.1.

Pushover analysis is an elegant tool to visualise the performance level of a building under a given earthquake. The purpose of the paper is to summarize the Non Linear static Pushover analysis of medium rise RC bare frame and high rise RC infilled structure with soft stories at different levels using ETABS software. Results concluded that due to the introduction of soft stories in the higher level the intensity of hinge formation becomes lower and lower and at the same time displacement and base shear increases

The inelastic seismic response of an existing multi-span concrete bridge is investigated by performing nonlinear static pushover analysis. The bridge is subjected to lateral forces distributed proportionally over the span of the bridge in accordance with the product of mass and mode shape. The bridge is pushed up to the target displacement and the hinge formations of the bridge in different steps of the pushover procedure in the transverse direction are obtained. The expected capacity of the bridge is evaluated and compared with the displacement demand.

This paper presents the original method of controlled building damage mechanisms based on Nonlinear Static Pushover Analysis (NSPA-DMBD). The optimal building damage mechanism is determined based on the solution of the Capacity Design Method (CDM), and the response of the building is considered in incremental situations. The development of damage mechanism of a system in such incremental situations is being controlled on the strain level, examining the relationship of current and limit strains in concrete and reinforcement steel. Since the procedure of the system damage mechanism analysis according to the NSPA-DMBD method is being iteratively implemented and designing checked after the strain reaches the limit, for this analysis a term Iterative-Interactive Design (IID) has been introduced. By selecting, monitoring and controlling the optimal damage mechanism of the system and by developed NSPA-DMBD method, damage mechanism of the building is being controlled and the level of resistance to an early collapse is being increased.

In the present work, an attempt is made to investigate response reduction factor (R) values of different soil types by using nonlinear static (Pushover) analysis for R.C. elevated rectangular water tank structure. All the parameters were investigated by varying properties of soft, medium and hard soils to cover a method of nonlinear static (Pushover) analysis. The zone factor (Z) kept constant Z – III for pandharpur site location and capacity of 150 m3 tank full in condition. This has resulted into SAP 2000 finite element software. The analysis of response reduction factor (R) value was done under three different soil conditions i.e. soft soil properties, medium soil properties, and hard soil properties. Response reduction factor (R) values indicate that R.C. elevated rectangular water tank structure without soil properties behaves quite the one value as per codal provisions.

To study the nonlinear mechanical characteristics of reinforced concrete shear wall structures under rare earthquakes, a single reinforced concrete shear wall model is established in SAP2000 program, which is simulated by nonlinear multi-layer shell element. Nonlinear static pushover analysis of the model is presented by uniform acceleration lateral load pattern and inverted triangle lateral load pattern. The relationship curve between base shear and top displacement of shear wall, and the stress distribution diagrams of the concrete layer and rebar layer are obtained. It may be concluded that, the yielding of rebar layer and the cracking of the concrete layer may be observed by stress distribution diagrams. SAP2000 program is feasible to nonlinear simulation of shear wall structures.
