While various machine learning (ML) techniques have been used in seismic fragility analysis of structures, their deterministic predictions often fall short in propagating input uncertainties (e.g., building-to-building variability within a given building type). This study introduces a probabilistic ML method for predicting the damage probability of individual buildings within a region. It also presents a probabilistic approach derived from the Poisson binomial distribution model that considers independent building functionalities to provide regional fragility models for building portfolios. A virtual testbed of simplified multi-degree of freedom (MDoF) models for each building in the portfolio is generated by randomly sampling uncertain structural design parameters. The results demonstrate that the probabilistic ML model can directly predict the damage probability parameters of each building, eliminating the need for deterministic ML methods to train models for different buildings repeatedly. The proposed probabilistic model derived by the Poisson binomial distribution effectively evaluates the seismic fragility of building portfolios, considering both structural and nonstructural damage. date: 2025-01 date_type: published publisher: Elsevier official_url: https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ijdrr.2024.105044 full_text_type: other language: eng verified: verified_manual elements_id: 2346818 doi: 10.1016/j.ijdrr.2024.105044 lyricists_name: Galasso, Carmine lyricists_id: CGALA33 actors_name: Galasso, Carmine actors_id: CGALA33 actors_role: owner funding_acknowledgements: 2022YFC3803000 [National Key Research and Development Program of China]; 52311540017 [National Natural Science Foundation of China]; 52361135806 [National Natural Science Foundation of China] full_text_status: restricted publication: International Journal of Disaster Risk Reduction volume: 116 article_number: 105044 pages: 17 issn: 2212-4209 citation: Ding, Jia-Yi; Feng, De-Cheng; Galasso, Carmine; (2025) Seismic fragility assessment of regional building portfolios using machine learning and Poisson binomial distribution.
