Large-scale seismic assessment of RC buildings through rapid visual screening
International Journal of Disaster Risk Reduction, 2022Rapid urban growth, particularly in developing countries, is often accompanied by unplanned and highly vulnerable settlements which could lead to high seismic risk. This problem becomes even more pronounced when such developing countries are located in seismic prone regions, which, without a well-enforced seismic code, face high probability of major ...

Rapid visual screening for seismic evaluation of RC hospital buildings
Structures, 2015Abstract Hospitals must be fully operational in the event of an emergency after an earthquake to protect the lives of patients and health workers as well as to provide emergency care and medical treatment to the subsequently increased number of patients who will be driven to healthcare facilities.

Rapid visual screening of different housing typologies in Himachal Pradesh, India
Natural Hazards, 2016Methods capable of assessing the vulnerability of houses for future earthquakes are of fundamental importance for the safety and development of an area. As the detailed assessment is limited to number of houses and cost, one of the appraising methods currently used for seismic vulnerability assessment is rapid visual screening (RVS).

International Journal of Disaster Risk Reduction, 2021
Abstract Seismic vulnerability assessment of a large group of buildings can prove to be extremely difficult as it requires huge amount of time and resources. Rapid Visual Screening (RVS) alleviates this problem by classifying buildings into different classes of vulnerability thereby limiting the need for detailed analysis only to a few selected ...

Journal of Building Engineering, 2023
Different methodologies are available in the literature to perform seismic assessment of existing buildings. Amongst the simplified ones, Rapid Visual Screening (RVS) methodologies have been recently developed and proposed. RVS methods are simplified procedures that can be implemented rather quickly for preliminary assessment of building vulnerability ...

Rapid visual screening of earthquake-susceptible buildings
Proceedings of the Institution of Civil Engineers - Municipal Engineer, 2017Many people in the Indian subcontinent can only afford non-engineered shelters. Unfortunately, such buildings are easy victims of earthquakes and they need to be assessed and graded to see how susceptible they are to damage during the frequent, moderate tremors of the region.

Risk-Based Rapid Visual Screening of Bridges
TCLEE 2009, 2009Seismic resiliency of new bridges has improved over the years due to improved seismic codes and design practices. However, the vulnerability of seismically deficient bridges, coupled with aging and deterioration, poses a significant threat to life safety and integrity of lifeline systems.

A Proposed Rapid Visual Screening Procedure for Developing Countries
International Journal of Geotechnical Earthquake Engineering, 2018Many earthquakes in the past had shown that major damage to structures took place in the absence of proper design, construction, and quality control. Based on the extent of damages caused by earlier earthquakes and the building vulnerability parameters that has caused the damages, a statistical analysis was carried out to develop a vulnerability score ...
