The paper will summarise the methodology implemented for determining accurate capacity and fragility curves of existing pre-seismic design code reinforced concrete (RC) buildings when subjected to seismic action. The methodology involved the definition of probabilistic models of relevant input variables (geometry and materials), performing advanced numerical models of RC buildings under seismic action, setting of appropriate limit states and finally analysis of the results in order to derive the updated curves for Portuguese building stock. This paper will also present a comparison between curves obtained from the current study and the corresponding curves currently being used in LNEC’s seismic risk assessment platform (LNECloss).engFragility CurvesReinforced Concrete BuildingsPre-Seismic Codeconference object2020-02-17cv-prod-1068444
