Development of Fragility functions are a widely used tool to estimate the vulnerability through the probability of response damage occurrence of a structure at different seismic demand. These functions are very useful for researchers, engineers, insurance companies, territorial planning planners and decision-makers. The aim of this research is to develop a methodology to estimate the vulnerability of theses confined masonry dwelling through the fragility function. An experimental database of confined masonry wall of two kind of informal brick and statistical database were used. This research present typologies of a dwelling according to the type of material, number of floors, and wall density respectively which are based on a statistical database. Besides, it describes a methodology to find the fragility functions based on experimental data tests that replicate the behavior of confined m...

Los terremotos representan aproximadamente el 50% de las muertes causadas por eventos naturales a nivel mundial, lo que resalta la necesidad de evaluar la vulnerabilidad sísmica reforzando edificaciones vulnerables y proteger la vida de la población. Esta investigación tiene como objetivo determinar la vulnerabilidad sísmica de viviendas de albañilería no ingenieril en Lima Metropolitana mediante el desarrollo de curvas de fragilidad. La metodología se basa en una base de datos experimental de muros de albañilería confinada no ingenieril. Se establecieron tipologías de viviendas y su clasificación taxonómica para definir el nivel de exposición. Las curvas de capacidad por piso se obtuvieron mediante el modelo tetralineal, aplicando diez registros sísmicos escalados y realizando análisis no lineal tiempo historia. A partir de estos resultados, se generaron curvas de fragili...
