“…Therefore, these types of structures are most affected by earthquakes [20]. Structural damages in masonry buildings reveal that the earthquake resistance of such structures is lower than other structures [21][22][23][24][25][26][27]. The masonry structures built with local materials and construction techniques are shaped by the effects of climate and topography.…”

The loss of life due to large-scale structural damage has again demonstrated the importance of taking precautions before an earthquake. In this context, determining the risk priorities for the existing building stock and making the final decisions about the buildings is one of the basic measures to be taken before an earthquake. Within the scope of this study, the regional risk priorities have been determined for twenty different masonry buildings in Bitlis (Türkiye), located in the Lake Van Basin, which has a high earthquake risk. The Turkish Rapid Assessment Method was used for masonry structures in this study which was updated in 2019 using the necessary data obtained for each structure on site. In addition, information about the architectural characteristics and current structural conditions of traditional Bitlis houses is given in this study. Current seismic parameters are also obtained for the location of each building. All data in the article were obtained from field research, and this is one of the first studies in which the rapid assessment method was used. In this method, buildings with low scores have a higher risk priority, and building performance scores were obtained between 25 and 85. With this and similar studies, regional risk priorities can be determined, and the number of buildings subjected to detailed assessment can be reduced.

“…Moreover, there are different approaches, heuristically based, in which seismic vulnerability of buildings is attributed based on expert opinion [1,2]. Among the several simplified seismic vulnerability assessment approaches that could be cited here, the P25 scoring method, proposed by [3], the "Rapid Visual Screening of Buildings for Potential Seismic Hazards" presented by ATC-21 [4], and the methodologies proposed by GNDT II [5] and by [6][7][8] are worthy of note.…”

Seismic Vulnerability Assessment of Existing Reinforced Concrete Buildings in Urban Centers

2020

Despite the recent advances in the analysis of the seismic performance of reinforced concrete structures, the assessment of large building inventories aimed at defining and prioritizing structural retrofitting strategies is still a technically challenging task. This paper aims to contribute to bridging this gap by presenting a simplified methodology for assessing the seismic vulnerability of reinforced concrete buildings, which is then applied to a group of 91 buildings affected by recent earthquakes with different macroseismic intensities. The presented methodology is based on the evaluation of eight parameters associated with different factors that affect the seismic response of the building, namely its structural features, foundation conditions, and position within the urban mesh. The formulation of each parameter and the relative weight attributed to each one of them were defined on the basis of post-earthquake damage observation and expert opinion. After defined, the proposed methodology is applied to Faro city center. Based on the results obtained, a cost benefit analysis is made considering a strengthening solution to the buildings with soft-story irregularity.

“…The identification of the degree of damage induced in buildings/structures after an earthquake is vital in terms of determining the required repair work or whether an evacuation is necessary or not. Since there does not exist an established quantitative method for understanding the post-earthquake damage, the methods used for this purpose largely rely on observation [1]. In reinforced concrete based buildings, deformations formed on the structural elements (e.g., beams, columns, roof) as well as those formed on the non-structural elements (e.g., furniture, windows, office equipment) are investigated visually.…”

Wireless monitoring of a standard reinforced concrete beam is shown in a simply supported beam experiment. The passive nested split-ring resonator (NSRR) probes are attached on the reinforcing bars (rebars) within the beam, and an antenna interrogates the probes from outside the beam. The results of the experiment show that the plastic deformation region strain/displacement can be detected by the wireless sensing system. The data collected by the system constitutes an important input for the assessment of the damage that can be observed after earthquakes.
