Abstract

In this chapter, seismic vulnerability of smart structures is assessed using fragility analysis framework. The fragility analysis framework is effective to evaluate the performance and the vulnerability of structures under a variety of earthquake loads. To demonstrate the effectiveness of the seismic fragility analysis framework, a three-story steel frame building employing the nonlinear smart damping system is selected as a case study structure. To investigate the impact of sensor failures, various sensor damage case scenarios are considered. The seismic capacity of the smart building is determined based on the typical structural performance levels used in the literature. The unknown parameters for the seismic demand models are estimated using a Bayesian updating algorithm. Finally, the fragility curves of the smart structures under a variety of sensor damage cases are compared. It is proved from the extensive simulations that the proposed seismic fragility analysis framework is very effective in estimating the control performance of smart structures with sensor faults.
