Development of Empirical Fragility Curves in Earthquake Engineering considering Nonspecific Damage Information

<div>Empirical fragility curves determined by maximum likelihood estimation using different distribution functions. At each figure, curves from top to bottom are fragility curves for damage state subsets of <i>S</i>, <i>M</i>, <i>E</i>, and <i>C</i>, respectively. (a) Lognormal CDF. (b) Extreme type I (Gumbel) CDF. (c) Extreme type II (Frechet) CDF.</div>
