Recently, the damage caused by typhoons and strong winds are increasing due to the world climate change. Considering the vulnerability of structure to strong wind disaster, in this study, we focused on the soundproof wall among vulnerable wind facilities. GFRP was chose as the reinforcement frame among the components of the soundproof wall. The modeling of the soundproof wall was made using the finite element commercial analysis program ABAQUS and the resistance performance was estimated through the optimal model analysis of the soundproof wall. Wind loads were calculated using Monte Carlo Simulation. Finally, wind fragility evaluation was performed to predict the degree of damage of the GFRP frame soundproof wall. It is necessary to verify the performance of the GFRP frame through comparison with the aluminum frame which is generally used in the construction of the soundproofing wall.

Due to recent climate changes, damage to the soundproof wall due to typhoons and strong winds is on the rise. This study determine the fragility curve of aluminum frame, which is a weak member of the soundproofing wall, due to strong wind. The fragility was analyzed in term of aluminum frame thickness variation. Finite element analysis of the wall was performed with ABAQUS, a commercial program. Random wind loads applied to the structures were generated using the Monte Carlo simulation technique. Also, the limit state was set based on the analysis results. The fragility curves were developed with consideration of three influential factors which are installation location, wind exposure and thickness aluminium frame of soundproof wall.
