Abstract

This chapter describes the SYNER-G Fragility Function Manager, which has been developed to store, visualize and manage a large number of fragility function sets. The tool can store functions for a wide range of elements at risk, and has features that allow these functions to be harmonized (in terms of intensity measure type and limit state) and then compared. The tool is provided, together with a collection of European fragility functions, as an electronic supplement to this book.
