Building Seismic Fragilities Using Response Surface Metamodels

Building fragility describes the likelihood of damage to a building due to random ground motions. Conventional methods for computing building fragilities are either based on statistical extrapolation of detailed analyses on one or two specific buildings or make use of Monte Carlo simulation with th...
