In this paper, seismic fragility analysis of lightning arrester is performed using capacity spectrum method(CSM).Since seismic fragility analysis of structure with many structural members is required to calculate many inelastic responses for several tens or hundreds of ground motions, simple method such as CSM is more appropriate than response history analysis(RHA).In general, accuracy of seismic response evaluated by CSM is less than that by RHA.In order to increase accuracy of CSM, equivalent SDOF method and performance point calculation technique are applied to CSM.Seismic fragility method proposed by Shinozuka et al. is used.In order to evaluate site effect of ground motions on seismic fragility, 60 different site classification earthquakes are selected as input ground motions.From the seismic fragility curves of lightning arrester evaluated by CSM and RHA, it can be observed that the seismic fragility curves evaluated by CSM are very similar to those by RHA.Also, it can be observed that main seismic failure mode of lightning arrest is bushing breakage.
