Abstract
Buildings are the major structures that are exposed to damage when earthquakes are triggered. This damage can cause losses including lives and properties. Building damage is the main source of seismic loses during earthquakes. To solve this problem, fragility curves were introduced by researchers to serve as one of main tool in assessing damage and loss during earthquakes.
