10. FRAGILITY ASSESSMENT This chapter is concerned with review of methods of assessment of bridge sensitivity to damage from earthquake ground motion, with emphasize on probabilistic fragility analysis. Response data necessary for fragility analysis may be collected from the field (observational) or generated by advanced analysis. The data assembled may be treated deterministically or probabilistically. The Chapter is designed to present a coherent and succinct overview of the rapidly emerging field of fragility assessment that is critical to the development and application of regional seismic loss assessment software. Table 10.0 summarizes the framework used to design the Chapter and a key to its scope and sections.

Emphasis is also placed on examples of probabilistic fragility analysis at the end of the Chapter where the various components outlined in earlier sections are brought together to provide an advanced tool for assessment of the probability of reaching a limit state of damage. 10.1.STRUCTURAL DEFICIENCIES (THIS SECTION WAS REQUESTED BY THE GROUP AS COMMUNICATED TO ME.
