Assessment of fragility models based on the Sept 19th, 2017 earthquake observed damage
(2019)
Seismic vulnerability evaluations of buildings and critical infrastructure in densely populated cities strongly rely on fragility curves to estimate the probability of reaching or exceeding a given state of damage. Currently, ...
Empirical fragility curves of RC buildings in Chile using a cumulative link model
(National Information Centre of Earthquake Engineering, 2017)
Chile is known as one of the most seismic countries in the world showing approximately one event above magnitude 8 every ten years. Unexpected damage occurred in reinforced concrete (RC) buildings during the 2010 Mw 8.8 ...
Seismic risk assessment of spatially distributed electric power systems
(National Information Centre of Earthquake Engineering, 2017)
The adequate performance of critical infrastructure such as transportation, telecommunications, healthcare, and electric power systems are essential to the resilience of communities after major earthquakes. However, assessing ...
Loss estimation for typical adobe façades of Cuenca (Ecuador) due to earthquake scenarios
(2021)
A relevant percentage of the world population lives in constructions made of sun-dried earth, which
are built according to several techniques such as rammed earth, bahareque or adobe. This work
specifically focuses on the ...
Development and comparison of seismic fragility curves for bridges based on empirical and analytical approaches
(2021)
The bridge network is an essential part of the transportation infrastructure for mobility. However, bridges are susceptible to seismic activity that produces damages and affects the entire transportation system. Their ...
Seismic Vulnerability Assessment of the Yungay's Historic Urban Center in Santiago, Chile
(2022)
In this paper, a modified empirical large-territorial-scale procedure to assess the seismic vulnerability of aggregate buildings in urban areas located within a highly seismic context is proposed. The methodology is applied ...
Effects of Using High-Strength Reinforcement in the Seismic Performance of a Tall RC Shear Wall Building
(2023)
Chile’s reinforced concrete (RC) design is based on ACI 318-08, where high-strength reinforcement is not allowed in seismic force-resistant members. In 2019, new requirements adopted by ACI 318 permitted the incorporation ...
Analytical fragility curves for non-skewed highway bridges in Chile
(2017)
Recent earthquakes in Chile and worldwide have caused significant economic losses due to the damage on the road bridge network. To conduct seismic risk assessment studies and to improve resilience of bridges, seismic ...
