Seismic Fragility Assessment of RC Plan-Asymmetric Wall-Frame Structures Based on the Enhanced Damage Model

The seismic response of reinforced concrete (RC) plan-asymmetric structures is significantly influenced by the input angle of seismic ground motions. Hence, it is challenging to assess the performance of plan-asymmetric structures. In this study, the classic probabilistic seismic fragility assessmen...
