Effect of earthquake ground motions on fragility curves of highway bridge piers based on numerical simulation.

Fragility curves express the probability of structural damage due to earthquakes as a function of ground motion indices, e.g. PGA, PGV. Based on the actual damage data of highway bridges from the 1995 Hyogoken-Nanbu (Kobe) earthquake, a set of empirical fragility curves was constructed. However, the...
