Fragility Functions
Fragility functions are resultedFragility Function from a structural assessment of the system (in the case of analytical form). In simple language, the fragility can be defined as “the quality of being easily broken or damaged” Porter (A Beginner’s guide to fragility, vulnerability, and risk. Springer, Berlin, 2015). The seismic fragility functions are first introduced by Kennedy et al. (Nucl Eng Des 59:315–338, 1980) as a probabilistic relationship between frequency of component failure in a nuclear power plant and peak ground acceleration. Fragility functions are not specific to earthquake events and can be developed for any “stressor” (i.e., flood, hurricane, wind).
