The primary constructions on hill slopes of India's seismically active Himalayan regions are
sloping ground buildings. Based on rapid visual screening, many of these towns have …

Buildings on hills behave dynamically, very different from buildings on flatlands. Due to
irregularity in horizontal and vertical planes, they inhibit non-uniform mass and stiffness …

This study proposes an improved method for rapid visual screening (RVS) to assess the
seismic vulnerability of reinforced concrete (RC) buildings in the hilly region, especially in …

ABSTRACT A five story (G+ 4) residential structure is positioned on 15°, 30°, and 45° slopes
to be explored in this study in terms of vulnegrability and compared to the same structure …

Buildings located on hill slopes are subjected to additional effects under seismic action
compared with those on flat ground. This article presents Incremental Dynamic Analyses of …

This study proposes component level repair cost functions for efficient estimation of financial
losses expected to be incurred due to earthquake-induced damages to typical reinforced …

Buildings on hill slopes have suffered significant damage from past earthquakes due to poor
design and construction practices. Therefore, Indian building code restricts the natural …

The present study proposes efficient intensity measures for landslide vulnerability
assessment of undamaged and earthquake-damaged reinforced concrete (RC) buildings …

Due to rapid growth in tourism and other economic activities, several small cities and towns
in the Indian Himalayan region are facing problems of unplanned construction and extended …

The present study evaluates the performance of two hillside building configurations, ie, split
foundation (SF) and step-back (SB), commonly observed in the seismically active Indian …
