New Seismic Vulnerability Index for Vertically Irregular Buildings
ASCE-ASME Journal of Risk and Uncertainty in Engineering Systems, Part A: Civil Engineering, 2018AbstractMost international design codes either prohibit construction or recommend alternative seismic analysis and design of vertically irregular building frames, depending on the degree of irregul...

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 ...

Pipelines at Bridge Crossings: Empirical-Based Seismic Vulnerability Index
Pipelines 2015, 2015Past and recent earthquakes have highlighted significant seismic vulnerability of utility lines, including water and wastewater pipelines, at bridge crossings. After the Canterbury Earthquakes (2010-2011), severe impact on utility lines at bridge crossings was reported.

The efficiency of an improved seismic vulnerability index under strong ground motions
Structures, 2020Abstract 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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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

Seismic Vulnerability Assessment Methodology Based on Damage Index Spectra
2022Earthquakes are considered one of the strongest and most destructive natural forces since its consequences, in addition to material damage and damage to buildings, are human suffering, large economic losses and costs related to the care of the population after the earthquake.

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.
