For each fragility group, the repair cost is a function of the damage state experienced by each component, the replacement cost per component, and the number of components in the group.

The mean repair costs were arranged by the responsible structural and nonstructural fragility groups.

The total repair cost for the building is the sum of the damage experienced by all fragility groups.

Fragility groups with negligible contributions to repair costs are stairs, access flooring, elevators, piping, fire sprinkler systems, and electrical systems.

Future seismic performance studies may exclude the fragility groups with negligible repair costs in order to decrease the required computation time.

This novel finding will enable future seismic performance assessments to include only the fragility groups critical to repair costs in order to decrease computational effort.

Fragility groups that significantly contribute to repair costs were identified as structural components, glass curtain wall cladding, wall partitions, suspended ceilings, HVAC equipment, and office equipment.

Investigating the ULS distribution in Fig. 10 reveals that the structural system has the greatest repair cost of the fragility groups.
