Two-Scale Probabilistic Seismic Fragility Assessment for a Prestressed Concrete-Steel Hybrid Wind Turbine Tower with Incremental Dynamic and Multiple Stripe Analysis

To evaluate the seismic performance of a prestressed concrete-steel hybrid (PCSH) wind turbine tower, the seismic fragility curves based on incremental dynamic analysis (IDA) and multiple stripe analysis (MSA) on a two-scale model are presented and compared. The peak ground acceleration (PGA) and peak lateral drift on the top of the tower are adopted as the intensity measure (IM) and engineering demand parameter (EDP) of analysis, respectively. Finally, the seismic performance of the PCSH tower subjected to seismic action at different soil is investigated. The fragility curves obtained by IDA and MSA methods are compared.
