Fragility Curve Development for Assessing the Seismic Vulnerability of Highway Bridges by John B. Mander, University at Buffalo, State University of New York Sponsors Sponsors Research Objectives MCEER Highway Project/FHWA The principal objective of this research is to develop, from the National Institute of fundamentals of mechanics and dynamics, the theoretical basis of Building Sciences (NIBS) establishing fragility curves for highway bridges through the use of rapid analysis procedures. In contrast to other methods that have been used in the past, such as either empirical/experiential fragility curves or individualized fragility curves based on extensive computational simulations, the present approach seeks to establish dependable fragility curves based on the limited data readily obtainable from the Collaborative Collaborative National Bridge Inventory (NBI).
