| Abstract |
In this paper, a fragility analysis methodology is developed for assessing the response of steel-framed industrial buildings exposed to extreme wind conditions. This fragility is a conditional limit state probability, presented as a function of the 3-second gust wind speed, based on a relation between statistics of wind loads and building resistances. Six different baseline industrial buildings considering different roof shapes and geographic locations were investigated using a probabilistic approach. The fragility methodology described in this paper can be used to develop performance-based design guidelines for industrial buildings in high wind regions as well as to provide information on which to base structural performance or expected loss assessments. |
