Fragility Curves Evaluation for Broken-Back Block Quay Walls
Fragility curves are recently adopted and implemented in some geotechnical structures, mainly for waterfront structures to evaluate the seismic vulnerability of them. However, the vulnerability of broken-back block quay walls, as an efficient waterfront system in the areas with high seismicity, has not been evaluated. Therefore, in this study, a numerical model was developed and validated against shaking table tests results. Subsequently, fragility curves were produced for two broken-back block quay walls. Comparison of damage probability for two types of walls demonstrates the better seismic performance of the quay wall with larger hunch, especially for the high level of seismicity.
