A report from a project funded by a 2022 EEFIT Research Grant winner.

Following the 2020 earthquakes in Elâzığ and Izmir, Turkey, this project aims to construct comprehensive empirical fragility functions for reinforced concrete moment-resisting frame type structures and unreinforced masonry structures, from two damage datasets by employing statistical methods.
