Abstract: Models capable of estimating losses in future earthquakes are of fundamental importance for emergency planners and for the insurance and reinsurance industries. One of the main ingredients in a loss model is an accurate, transparent and conceptually sound algorithm to assess the seismic vulnerability of the building stock and indeed many tools and methodologies have been proposed over the past 30 years for this purpose. This paper takes a look at some of the most significant contributions in the field of vulnerability assessment and identifies the key advantages and disadvantages of these procedures in order to distinguish the main characteristics of an ideal methodology.

Assessment of seismic susceptibility of rc buildings
TL;DR: In this article, a detailed procedure to evaluate the seismic performance of reinforced concrete buildings has been studied and three important methods to determine the seismic inelastic displacement namely Capacity Spectrum Method, Displacement Coefficient Method and Pushover Analysis; with the help of these methods the performance and capacity of a building can be evaluated.

TL;DR: This study identifies and assesses the seismic vulnerability of substandard masonry and reinforced concrete buildings in Zagreb, Croatia, aiming to develop a new exposure and vulnerability model for the region's urban areas with similar building stock and seismotectonic conditions.
Estimation of earthquake safety escape time and casualties in Chinese masonry buildings
TL;DR: In this article , an incremental dynamic analysis method was employed to estimate the available escape time and the collapse probability of building under those selected ground motions with a series of peak accelerations, and the required safety escape time of the building was obtained through evacuation simulation analysis.

Derivation of vulnerability functions for European-type RC structures based on observational data
Tiziana Rossetto,Amr S. Elnashai +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors reviewed existing vulnerability relationships for reinforced concrete structures with a view to their application to a European (and similar) seismic risk assessment scenario, and derived new empirical fragility curves for reinforcedcrete building populations based on a data bank of 99 post-earthquake damage distributions observed in 19 earthquakes.

Development and verification of a displacement-based adaptive pushover procedure
S. Antoniou,Rui Pinho +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, a displacement-based adaptive pushover procedure is presented, whereby a set of laterally applied displacements, rather than forces, is monotonically applied to the structure, and the integrity of the analysis algorithm is veried through an extensive comparative study involving static and dynamic nonlinear analysis of 12 reinforced concrete buildings subjected to four diverse acceleration records.
Development of building damage functions for earthquake loss estimation
TL;DR: Whitman et al. as discussed by the authors described building damage functions that were developed for the FEMA/NIBS earthquake loss estimation methodology, and these functions estimate the probability of building damage in the event of an earthquake.

Ajay Singhal,Anne S. Kiremidjian +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors present a systematic approach for estimating fragility curves and damage probability matrices for different structural systems based on nonlinear dynamic analysis of the structure rather than on heuristics or on empirical data.
