New analytical fragility curves for existing URM buildings in regions with moderate seismicity

Pierino Lestuzzi, Marcelo Rafael Oropeza Ancieta

Seismic risk in regions with moderate seismicity, such as Switzerland, was largely underestimated. A vast majority of existing buildings have been built without specific earthquake resistant features and do not meet modern requirements. Although several pr ...

Fragility Functions for Seismic Risk in Regions with Moderate Seismicity

Marcelo Rafael Oropeza Ancieta

The seismic assessment of existing buildings has been underestimated in regions with moderate seismic hazard, such as the North-West Europe. Strong earthquakes, such as the 1356 Basel earthquake, already occurred in such regions and caused severe damage. T ...

Fragility functions for seismic risk in regions with moderate seismicity

Pierino Lestuzzi, Marcelo Rafael Oropeza Ancieta

Current seismic risk evaluations are mostly based on approximate vulnerability curves. Damage prediction is improved by considering structural characteristics of building. Such improved fragility functions do not exist for many structures, especially in co ...
