Abstract

This paper presents fragilities developed for the seismic risk analysis of the San Francisco Bay Area Rapid Transit (BART) system, including treatment of dependent and independent damage states. Categories of fragilities include aerial guideway structures, passenger stations, tunnels and the Transbay Tube, with fragilities developed based on a combination of analytical and experiential data.
