Opis

The subject in the book is to develop analytical fragility curves for seismic performance evaluation of RC buildings. A methodology based on Incremental Dynamic Analysis to develop fragility curves have been discussed. For better understanding of implementation of the methodology, two case studies have been included. Seismic nonlinear modelling of various elements of RC buildings in SAP2000 software is the unique feature of this book.
