Fragility functions are the key components of damage analysis for the next generation performance-based earthquake engineering (PBEE-2) framework.
Next generation performance-based earthquake engineering involves the use of a probability framework, which incorporates the inherent uncertainty and variability in seismic hazard, structural and non-structural responses, damage states and economic and casualty losses.
Fragility techniques are also increasingly being accepted by those in the design communities (especially seismic design) and are likely to form the basis for next generation performance-based design procedures for all hazards.
Second, a probabilistic method for predicting the seismic damage of sprinkler components (including pipes and drops) is developed according to the next-generation performance-based design method in the Federal Emergency Management Agency FEMAA) P-58 report.
