Fragility Assessment of Structural Systems in Light-Frame Residential Construction Subjected to Natural Hazards
The probabilistic response (fragility) of light-frame wood construction exposed to extreme winds and earthquakes is assessed. Performance goals and specific limit states are identified from a review of building performance during recent hurricanes and earthquakes in the United States. Computational structural models provide platforms for risk analysis of light-frame wood structural systems, and model-based simulation is required to assess performance metrics. The reliability and risk analysis is demonstrated for selected common building configurations and construction (defined, e.g., by roof sheathing, truss spacing, and roof or shear wall nailing patterns). Limit state probabilities of structural systems for the performance levels identified above are developed as a function of 3-s gust wind speed (hurricanes) and spectral acceleration (earthquakes), establishing a connection with wind and earthquake hazards stipulated in ASCE Standard 7-02.
