Seismic vulnerability assessment of school buildings in Tehran city based on AHP and GIS

Seismic Vulnerability Assessment of Existing Rc Buildings in Gis Environment

With rapid population growth over the past 30 years and no significance seismic activity during this period, the unchecked development of the built environment in Bangladesh has been resulted in little resilience to earthquake. Identifying buildings due to this unchecked development that has high vulnerability is of critical importance both for reliable loss estimation as a result of an expecte...

Analytical Evaluation of Uncertainty Propagation in Seismic Vulnerability Assessment of Tehran Using GIS

Disaster management processes are generally characterizing real world as composition of various criteria to overcome damage consequences. This situation usually entails development of hypotheses based on epistemic and multi-criteria treatments. These hypotheses have to be properly structured using logics which somehow handle uncertainties like fuzzy logic. One of the properties of geospatial in...

Development and implementation of a GIS-based tool for spatial modeling of seismic vulnerability of Tehran

Achieving sustainable development in countries prone to earthquakes is possible with taking effective measures to reduce vulnerability to earthquakes. In this context, damage assessment of hypothetical earthquakes and planning for disaster management are important issues. Having a computer tool capable of estimating structural and human losses from earthquakes in a specific region may facilitat...

Seismic vulnerability and loss assessment for buildings in Greece

Seismic Vulnerability Assessment Methods for Buildings in Japan

The development of seismic vulnerability evaluation standards for reinforced concrete buildings in Japan is briefly reviewed. Damage statistics are shown to indicate that severe damage was observed in a relatively small percentage of existing buildings even after damaging earthquakes in the world. Therefore, a simple screening procedure is necessary to identify such vulnerable buildings out of ...
