Note that for the functional EDPdefined by maximum joint shear strain and number <strong>of</strong> load cycles, a fragility functionis not provided for method <strong>of</strong> repair 4, as insufficient data were available forcalibration <strong>of</strong> this function.Probability <strong>of</strong> Requiring a MORProbability <strong>of</strong> Requiring a MOR10.90.80.70.60.50.4MOR 00.3MOR 10.2MOR 2MOR 30.1MOR 400.0 1.0 2.0 3.0 4.0 5.0 6.0(a) drift10.90.80.70.60.50.40.3MOR 0MOR 10.2MOR 2MOR 30.1MOR 400 0.2 0.4 0.6 0.8 1.0 1.2(b) F(D,N) per Eq. 210.90.80.70.6Grey lines are the0.5empirical fragility0.4functions and black0.3MOR 0lines are defined0.2MOR 1using the lognormalMOR 20.1MOR 300 0.2 0.4 0.6 0.8 1.0 1.2© F(γ,N) per Eq. 3Figure 2.

CONCLUSIONSThe results <strong>of</strong> previous research as well as the practical experience <strong>of</strong> structuralengineers and contractors were used as a basis for developing probabilistic definingthe method <strong>of</strong> repair required to restore a pre-1967 joint to original condition as afunction <strong>of</strong> traditional engineering demand parameters. These models provide a basisfor evaluating the economic impact <strong>of</strong> earthquake loading <strong>of</strong> a building. Multipleapproaches were considered in developing the probabilistic models. It was found thatdefining engineering demand using inter-story drift or a nonlinear function <strong>of</strong> interstorydrift and number <strong>of</strong> load cycles resulted in the best models.
