Developing Fragility Curves in Seismic Assessment of Pier

Fragility curves (also known as vulnerability curves) are known to be instrumental in the decision making for the retrofitting of structures. Nonlinear static analysis, specifically, pushover analysis, combined with nonlinear dynamic analysis, that is, time history analysis, were utilized to determine ductility factors. In turn, these factors are used to calculate damage indices and damage ranks.
