Fragility curves Percentage decrease in vulnerability due soil-structure interaction
Conclusions aging effects : affect the dynamic response and the seismic vulnerability of the structures corrosion of reinforcement : is considered as a loss of cross sectional area of reinforced bars leads to significant increase of structure vulnerability due to the considered “worst case scenario” soil deformability and soil compliance : modify the structural response of the analyzed structures resulting to higher vulnerability values. depends on: the characteristics of the building, the input motion and the soil properties.
Conclusions soil-foundation-structure interaction (SFSI): leads to decrease in structural vulnerability the uncoupled two-step approach (substructure method) leads to higher vulnerability (overestimation due to uncertainties related, among others, to the evaluation of the impedance function) further research in: definition of limit states for corroded structures based on adequate analytical, experimental and empirical data incorporation of the fully probabilistic models within the dynamic analysis
