The US National Seismic Hazard Model (NSHM) was updated in 2023 for all 50 states using
new science on seismicity, fault ruptures, ground motions, and probabilistic techniques to …

Effective natural hazard risk assessment requires the characterisation of both hazards and
vulnerabilities of exposed elements. Volcanic hazard assessment is at an advanced state …

Recent earthquakes in California have initiated improvement in current design philosophy
and at present the civil engineering community is working towards development of …

This paper describes statistical procedures for develo** earthquake damage fragility
functions. Although fragility curves abound in earthquake engineering and risk assessment …

1.1 Objectives This work provides a primer for earthquake-related fragility, vulnerability, and
risk. It is written for new graduate students who are studying natural-hazard risk, but should …

Seismic fragilities of critical structures and equipment are developed as families of
conditional failure frequency curves plotted against peak ground acceleration. The …

This paper presents a systematic approach for estimating fragility curves and damage
probability matrices for different structural systems. Both fragility curves and damage …

This paper describes building damage functions that were developed for the FEMA/NIBS
earthquake loss estimation methodology (Whitman et al., 1997). These functions estimate …

The fragility curve is defined as the conditional probability of failure of a structure, or its
critical components, at given values of seismic intensity measures (IMs). The conditional …
