Analysis of Seismic Vulnerability Index Based on Microtremor Signal Measurements in Balingka Agam Regency

Journal of Experimental and Applied Physics
This study aims to analyze the seismic vulnerability index (Kg) in Nagari Balingka, Agam Regency, West Sumatra, which is located near the Sianok Segment. The Sianok segment is part of the active Sumatra Fault, making Balingka prone to seismic activity, especially earthquakes caused by fault segment movement.

Comparative seismic RISK assessment of existing RC buildings using seismic vulnerability index approach

Structures, 2021
Abstract The implementation of seismic risk management is becoming increasingly important all over the world, and especially in East-Asia as the structures aging surpass. In this context, three existing reinforced concrete buildings located in Malaysia have been selected for seismic vulnerability assessment.

Development of a uniform seismic vulnerability index framework for reinforced concrete building typology

Journal of Building Engineering, 2022
This paper presents a uniform framework for seismic vulnerability assessment of selected reinforced concrete (RC) structures in Malaysia based on an improved seismic vulnerability index (SVI) approach. To establish the formulated framework, three stages of validation are applied to two reference buildings damaged during the 2015 Ranau seismic event in ...

Availability of seismic vulnerability index (Kg) in the assessment of building damage in Van, Eastern Turkey

Earthquake Engineering and Engineering Vibration, 2020
The seismic vulnerability index (Kg) is a parameter that depends on the dynamic properties of soil. With this parameter, it is possible to evaluate the vulnerability of a point-based site under strong ground motion. Since it is related to the natural vibration period and amplification factor, the parameter can be calculated for both soil and structure.

A seismic vulnerability index for confined masonry shear wall buildings and a relationship with the damage

Engineering Structures, 2008
Abstract In this paper the Italian CNR-GNDT vulnerability index for masonry buildings was modified to apply in confined masonry buildings and to obtain a reasonable relationship with the wall density per unit floor index. With this purpose, a sample of twenty-four confined masonry buildings with three and four storeys built during the last twenty ...

Seismic vulnerability assessment of the old city centre of Horta, Azores: calibration and application of a seismic vulnerability index method

Bulletin of Earthquake Engineering, 2016
The seismic vulnerability assessment of old masonry buildings is essential not only to buildings with recognised historical and heritage value but also to ordinary residential masonry buildings. Thus, and resorting a wide set of damage data collected after the 1998 Azores earthquake, this paper addresses the topic of the seismic vulnerability ...

The efficiency of an improved seismic vulnerability index under strong ground motions

Structures, 2020
Abstract This paper examines the seismic performance of a Hospital Building damaged during the Ranau earthquake in Malaysia of intensity level (VIII), through an improved empirical seismic vulnerability index (SVI). The research aims at reducing the limitations and the uncertainties associated with the GNDT and the EMS approaches related to RC ...

Seismic vulnerability assessment of an old historical masonry building in Osijek, Croatia, using Damage Index

Journal of Cultural Heritage, 2017
Osijek is the largest city in eastern Croatia and the fourth largest city in the country. The most preserved Baroque buildings of Croatia are located in Tvrdja, the old historical city core. Tvrdja represents the educational, cultural and administrative centre of Osijek, and consists of 106 buildings. One of the problems facing civil engineers today is
