Seismic vulnerability assessment of existing buildings is of great concern around the world.
Different countries develop various approaches and methodologies to overcome the …

Rapid visual screening is a quick and simple approach often used by researchers to
estimate the seismic vulnerability of buildings in an area. In this study, preliminary seismic …

Exposure, hazard and vulnerability are the components of seismic risk, and knowledge on
the vulnerability of the existing buildings is vital to properly assess their risks in seismically …

In the conventional performance‐based earthquake engineering framework, fragility curves
are mapped to a function of story drift ratio or spectral acceleration corresponding to the first …

The extraction of building inventory information is vital for damage assessment and planning
and modelling studies. In the last few years, the conventional data extraction for building …

Seismic rapid visual screening (RVS) methods are used when a large stock of structures is
to be evaluated for seismic risk. Although several RVS methods are available, applications …

Until recently, seismic vulnerability assessment of large building inventories could only be
done using rapid seismic assessment techniques. These techniques generally use some …

In this study, firstly, visual screening based (VSB)(FEMA 154, RVS and RBTE) and capacity-
based (P25, Yakut, AURAP and DURTES) methods which are rapid seismic safety …

Determination of seismic safety of existing buildings is a time consuming and challenging
process. Instead, rapid survey methods were developed which identify deficient structures …

Performance indicators such as energy, stiffness and displacement are the key parameters
to evaluate the damage degree of structures or members subjected to earthquake …
