INTRODUCTION  Camp Crame, Camp
Aguinaldo, Quezon City

 MMEIRS, model 8 – 7.2

magnitude based from the
west valley fault system

 Seismic assessment is now

a practice conducted by
engineers, most especially
civil engineers.

Elevations
Seismic Fragility Analysis

 Represents the probability of exceeding a damage limit state for a

given structure type subjected to a seismic event.

 Best way to accomplish susceptibility assessments of structures for

arbitrating seismic requirements
Seismic Fragility Curves
 Output of Seismic Fragility Analysis

 It plots the percentage of a probability of exceedance vs. peak

ground acceleration (PGA)
 OBJECTIVES
This study aimed to assess the seismic vulnerability of the
Building in Camp Crame using its As-Built plan and Seismic
fragility curve.
 To provide with the vulnerability assessment of the
structure by using the derived set of fragility curves.

 CONCLUSION AND
RECOMMENDATION
Conclusion
• Based on the result of fragility curves, the structure does
not meet the 0.4g peak ground acceleration as the
minimum requirement of the 2010 NSCP Building Code and
is not safe for occupancy.
• “A structure with a 30 or more years of lifespan is NOT
SAFE when subjected to a seismic event of 10% probability
of exceedance of collapse of total damage. The structure
being more than 50 years old is vulnerable to large
magnitude earthquakes.” (SEAOC)

Recommendation:
 Consider the repair/retrofitting costs in seismic risk
response mitigation policies when defining a set of
fragility curves. Generate fragility curves while
considering an economic point of view.
 toimmediately start a retrofitting procedure to the
whole structural system of the Building.
