Cálculo de curvas de fragilidad mediante código de Python, utilizando el Método de Espectro de Capacidad (CSM).

Abstract

In this thesis project, the development of fragility curves was carried out using two Python codes based on two methodologies: one proposed by ASCE 41-17, known as the Coefficient Method, and the other proposed by FEMA 440, Alternative C, also known as the "Capacity Spectrum Method." Both methods are used to obtain performance points for a specific structure that is to be analyzed. During the development of the project, it was identified that there is variation in the section required for the generation of fragility curves. The Coefficient Method shows a linear increasing trend, whereas the method proposed by FEMA 440 in the same section presents better data dispersion, thus achieving a more representative statistical probability for each case study. The implementation of a Python code for the generation of fragility curves is a significant tool for the development and classification of seismic demand for a specific capacity curve obtained according to its respective structural typology. Therefore, both codes are open to manipulation, correction, and further improvement.
