Abstract
The development of fragility relations is an important step in the application of performance-based earthquake engineering. Data from 69 tests were collected and reviewed to develop fragility relations for new slab-column frame construction. Damage states were defined and fragility relations were developed for reinforced and post-tensioned concrete connections, both with and without shear reinforcement. Test results were reviewed to determine the likelihood and type of repair for various damage states. Derived empirical fragilities were incorporated into the ATC-58 loss estimation software Performance Assessment Calculation Tool (PACT). Nonlinear pushover analyses were conducted on test specimens and findings were compared to test results to assess bias in common modeling approaches. Comparisons indicate that the values of median model to test ratios vary between 0.9 and 1.25 for displacements corresponding to yield and for models with column stiffness based on ASCE 41-06 median stiffness at low axial loads of 0.2 EIgross.
