SEISMIC VULNERABILITY ASSESSMENT OF PILE-SUPPORTEDWHARVES USING FRAGILITY CURVES

Pile-supported wharves are one of the most common types of berthing facilities in seaports.Seismically induced damages in past events highlight the poor seismic design of these structuresand show necessity of enhancement the seismic performance of them. Seismic fragility analysisis a simple but powerful tool for evaluating the seismic vulnerability of a structural system
