seismic fragility analysis of a pile -supported wharf

this study aims to develop seismic fragility curves for a typical pile -supported wharf. Fragility curve is one of the popular tools in seismic performance eveluation of a structure the software FLAC2D was used to simulate the seismic performance of wharf by using eight historical time history records as seismic loading incremental dynamci analysis was used to seismic demand estimation based on the resulted seismic response matrix the analytical fragility curves were developed.
