Description

Building fragility functions provide a probabilistic representation of a building damage potential due to a hazard of a varying intensity. A simplified probabilistic displacement-based framework is adopted to develop fragility functions for NZ building inventory subject to ground motion hazard. To account for the diversity of building characteristics within a given building class, a Monte-Carlo procedure is adopted to simulate geometrical and material property variables of buildings. The adop...
