“…The RVS FEMA 154 method with SNI 1726 can be said to have met so that RVS can be used in Indonesia by adjusting the earthquake acceleration map so that there are no errors in determining the earthquake zone. In addition, another study entitled "A Rapid Visual Screening Methodology for the Seismic Vulnerability Assessment of Historic Brick Mansory Buildings in Vienna" [9] explains that this RVS method can be used to classify the behavior of building structures without going through a long computational process. The results obtained are mapping the vulnerability of buildings almost throughout the Vienna city area so that buildings with a high level of vulnerability to earthquakes can be known.…”

Indonesia is one of the nations that is more prone to earthquakes due to its location at the intersection of the Indo-Australian, Eurasian, and Pacific plates. This study aims to find out the vulnerability and final score of the Faculty of Islamic Economics and Business of Islamic State Prof. KH. Saifuddin Zuhri University used the RVS method based on FEMA P-154, where this method is one of the earliest methods used to evaluate the vulnerability of a building, and has a final value limit of 2. If the final score is more than 2, then the building under review has a low vulnerability to earthquakes and vice versa. This building is one of the mid-rise buildings in Purwokerto which was established in 2019. Based on RVS analysis, the final score was 3.6 for the category of concrete moment-resisting frames (C1) and 1.4 for the category of concrete frames with unreinforced masonry infill walls (C3). Thus, the results showed this 6-story building has a vulnerability to earthquakes with a high category of a high probability of damage to level 3 and a very high probability of level 2 damage.

“…In this regard, most state-of-the-art contributions containing assessment methodologies, and their related case studies, rely upon the concept that the levels of vulnerability and damage shall depend on the earthquake intensity [21][22][23]. In particular, a reference can be performed by the study [24] for a thorough discussion of the most relevant vulnerability assessment methods applicable at different scales.…”

The seismic risk assessment of existing urban areas provides important information for the process of seismic risk reduction in different phases of planning and emergency management. Between different large-scale assessment approaches, a vulnerability index method is often used for the first screening of the buildings and vulnerability classification. However, this method cannot fully predict the effects of a specific seismic action on buildings. This paper fully extends the scale of the settlement and properly upgrades a methodology previously proposed by authors to predict seismic damage and the risk to a restricted number of masonry buildings in the Croatian settlement Kaštel Kambelovac located along the Adriatic coast. The proposed approach is based on a hybrid empirical-analytical procedure that combines seismic vulnerability indices with critical peak ground accelerations for different limit states computed through a non-linear pushover analysis. The procedure’s outcomes are the computation of a relationship linking vulnerability indices to peak ground acceleration for a series of states, corresponding to damage limitation, significant damage, and near collapse. The described methodology is used to estimate seismic risk in terms of damage and the index of seismic risk for selected return periods. The general methodology has allowed a full seismic vulnerability assessment of the whole Croatian settlement of Kaštel Kambelovac.

“…Therefore, special attention should be paid to existing buildings in order to prevent potential losses. Existing buildings are generally used as residential buildings without any evaluation and/or improvement in their structural system [1]. In order to determine damages that may take place in existing buildings during a major earthquake, a large-scale seismic assessment should be employed.…”

Development of a Fuzzy Inference System Based Rapid Visual Screening Method for Seismic Assessment of Buildings Presented on a Case Study of URM Buildings

Many conventional rapid visual screening (RVS) methods for the seismic assessment of existing structures have been designed over the past three decades, tailored to site-specific building features. The objective of implementing RVS is to identify the buildings most susceptible to earthquake-induced damage. RVS methods are utilized to classify buildings according to their risk level to prioritize the buildings at high seismic risk. The conventional RVS methods are employed to determine the damage after an earthquake or to make safety assessments in order to predict the damage that may occur in a building before an impending earthquake. Due to the subjectivity of the screener based on visual examination, previous research has shown that these conventional methods can lead to vagueness and uncertainty. Additionally, because RVS methods were found to be conservative and to be partially accurate, as well as the fact that some expert opinion based developed RVS techniques do not have the capability of further enhancement, it was recommended that RVS methods be developed. Therefore, this paper discusses a fuzzy logic based RVS method development to produce an accurate building features responsive examination method for unreinforced masonry (URM) structures, as well as a way of revising existing RVS methods. In this context, RVS parameters are used in a fuzzy-inference system hierarchical computational pattern to develop the RVS method. The fuzzy inference system based RVS method was developed considering post-earthquake building screening data of 40 URM structures located in Albania following the earthquake in 2019 as a case study. In addition, FEMA P-154, a conventional RVS method, was employed to screen considered buildings to comparatively demonstrate the efficiency of the developed RVS method in this study. The findings of the study revealed that the proposed method with an accuracy of 67.5% strongly outperformed the conventional RVS method by 42.5%.
