SEISMIC FRAGILITY ASSESSMENT OF STEEL STRUCTURES SUPPORTED ON FRICTION PENDULUM ISOLATORS SUBJECTED TO FAR-FIELD GROUND MOTIONS

Seismic Fragility Assessment of Steel Structures Supported on Friction Pendulum Isolators Subjected to Far-Field Ground Motions

In this paper, attempts are made to compare the seismic fragility and the probability of failure of steel structures supported on different types of friction pendulum isolators.These isolators including single friction, dual friction pendulum and triple friction pendulum are designed to have similar effective periods as a prominent characteristic o
