Title
A numerical approach for obtaining fragility curves in seismic structural mechanics: a bridge case of Egnatia motorway in northern Greece
Abstract
Fragility curves for Civil Engineering structures represent a critically important step in seismic damage estimation process. In the present article, a numerical methodology for the evaluation of such curves for bridges is presented. The methodology is based on the Finite Element Method, combines the nonlinear static pushover procedure with the capacity spectrum method and is applied for establishing fragility curves for an existing reinforced concrete bridge with seismic stoppers in the Krystalopigi - Psilorahi section of Egnatia Motorway, in the county of Epirus, northern Greece.
