Assessment of Multi-Storey RC Structure by Using Fragility Curve Method

Abstract

The research work entitled \Assessment of an RC structure using fragility curve" deals with the tracing of a fragility curve for an existing as well for the structures which are proposed to be constructed. In the research work rstly the comparative analysis of a new and old structural models is carried out and the on the basis of the capacity curves the fragility curves are traced. A case of an old existing structure located in Mumbai is carried out and the comparative analysis is carried for the model with NDT and other model after retro tting work is carried and fragility curves are traced for both the conditions. The methodology adopted for the research work is using the response spectrum approach of analysis, since lot of research work has carried out using the statistical approach and other methods of tracing fragility curve.
