Abstract

Experience gained from recent strong seismic events has demonstrated the high vulnerability of waterfront structures and port facilities to strong ground shaking and associated phenomena resulting to severe physical damages and important economic losses. The objective of this Chapter is to review and propose fragility curves and methods to assess the seismic vulnerability for the most important components of a harbor system, namely waterfront structures, cargo handling and storage components and infrastructures within the European context in terms of construction practice and seismicity. After a short review, the observed during past earthquakes different failure modes are identified and classified and a detailed taxonomy is proposed with special emphasis to European specific features. Based on the taxonomy and the proposed classification of the different elements at risk, adequate fragility curves are provided.
