Abstract

A general method is developed for system fragility analysis based on mechanical models, a Bayesian formulation for model calibration, and seismic site characterization by actual and simulated ground motion accelerations. Simple examples illustrate the implementation of the proposed methodology for model calibration and fragility analysis. The extension of the method to realistic mechanical models for nonstructural systems is discussed using gypsum wall mechanical models.
