Epistemic Uncertainty in Fragility Functions for European RC Buildings

This chapter briefly summarises the work carried out under the auspices of the SYNER-G project to collect, harmonize and compare fragility functions for European RC buildings. All of these functions have been stored in the Fragility Function Manager described in Chap. 13. Examples of a methodology for estimating the epistemic uncertainty across a collection of fragility functions is presented, which, as discussed herein, should first be carefully reviewed for reliability, for example following the methodology presented in Chap. 3.
