Although it was difficult to anticipate the time or location of an earthquake, it was feasible to estimate the probability of a subsequent failure. Using fragility curve analysis, six models with varying shear wall locations were utilized to forecast the chance of failure in this study. For each model, a nonlinear time history analysis was performed that considers 40 earthquakes. Later the fragility curve had been drawn based on the outcome of the study. In this work, uncertainty was taken into consideration, while framing fragility curves and its relationship to models and materials was examined. 280 nonlinear time history analyses had been done for this analysis. The response with the highest score in each analysis had been recorded. The fragility curve was formed between the PGA and the probability of exceedance. As a result, model FC-FIG. 7 performs effectively in the face of seismic force, having acceptable levels of damage including rapid occupancy, limit state, and collapse prevention. In this study, the probability of exceedance of each model was calculated for the PGA of 0.5. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
