“…For example, Daniell (2015) provides a global review of country-level seismic-building codes from 1900 to 2013. Flood vulnerability assessments have seen a recent transition from focussing on traditional flood protection measures which aim to decrease the flood probability for an area to building-specific resilience measures (Ashley et al, 2007;Naumann et al, 2011). One example where this has been done is a study by Nikolowski (2014) which provides an overview of different ranges of building age and their flood vulnerability, structural (load carrying) and non-structural (mechanical) components, roof types, and building maintenance factors.…”

Abstract. In a cross-disciplinary study, we carried out an extensive literature review to increase understanding of vulnerability indicators used in the disciplines of earthquakeand flood vulnerability assessments. We provide insights into potential improvements in both fields by identifying and comparing quantitative vulnerability indicators grouped into physical and social categories. Next, a selection of indexand curve-based vulnerability models that use these indicators are described, comparing several characteristics such as temporal and spatial aspects. Earthquake vulnerability methods traditionally have a strong focus on object-based physical attributes used in vulnerability curve-based models, while flood vulnerability studies focus more on indicators applied to aggregated land-use classes in curve-based models. In assessing the differences and similarities between indicators used in earthquake and flood vulnerability models, we only include models that separately assess either of the two hazard types. Flood vulnerability studies could be improved using approaches from earthquake studies, such as developing object-based physical vulnerability curve assessments and incorporating time-of-the-day-based building occupation patterns. Likewise, earthquake assessments could learn from flood studies by refining their selection of social vulnerability indicators. Based on the lessons obtained in this study, we recommend future studies for exploring risk assessment methodologies across different hazard types.

“…Susceptibility is understood, in the case of buildings, as their propensity to experience harm (Samuels et al, 2009) and determined by their structural design, intrinsic properties and the material used (Naumann et al, 2010). The susceptibility is related to fragility, weakness, sensibility or instability, here applied to a building which can suffer a physical impact, degradation, failure, loss of structural integrity or deformation of its materials and its components, causing incapacity of the building's functionalities.…”

“…Contrary to susceptibility, resistance and resilience are often viewed as a positive property, meaning a receptor's ability to withstand an impact without significant alteration (resistance) or to be easily reconstructed (resilience; e.g. Naumann et al, 2010). As a first step, the building material's resistance can be analysed according to international studies, such as BMVBS (2006) (2008), which qualify the material's resistance with linguistic terms.…”

Abstract. There are various approaches available for assessing the flood vulnerability and damage to buildings and critical infrastructure. They cover pre-and post-event methods for different scales. However, there can hardly be found any method that allows for a large-scale pre-event assessment of the built structures with a high resolution. To make advancements in this respect, the paper presents, first, a conceptual framework for understanding the physical flood susceptibility of buildings and, second, a methodological framework for its assessment. The latter ranges from semi-automatic extraction of buildings, mainly from remote sensing with a subsequent classification and systematic characterisation, to the assessment of the physical flood susceptibility on the basis of depth-impact functions. The work shows results of the methodology's implementation and testing in a settlement of the city of Magangué, along the Magdalena River in Colombia.

“…Many of these approaches provide general strategies, namely, 'avoidance', 'dryproofing' and 'wet-proofing' as well as generic concepts for both the design and construction of new houses and the adaptation of existing buildings in flood risk areas (e.g. Bowker 2007, Naumann et al 2010, FEMA 2010. Nevertheless, most of these approaches do not explore comprehensively the potential of physical measures, i.e.…”

Abstract. The EU floods directive and its transcription into national legislation request exposed citizens and organisations to take individual measures to reduce flood risks on building scale. In response to that issue, a number of general approaches to buildings in flood risk areas and a set of strategies and technical guidance for the design and construction of flood resilient buildings have been developed in recent years. Particularly flood resilient building materials and constructions (FReMaCo), e.g. adapted exterior wall systems or floor arrangements, are expected to provide a considerable potential to limit flood damage if, for example, aperture technologies cannot stop water entering the building. However, there are significant uncertainties about the performance of FReMaCo that impede their comparison and hamper their uptake. To reduce those obstacles the paper discusses the application of the analytic hierarchy process (AHP) (i) to quantify and to compare the physical flood vulnerability of various building constructions and (ii) to evaluate and to rank the impact of alternative FReMaCo options. The paper explores a set of eleven evaluation criteria ranging from statics criteria about buildings physics criteria up to durability criteria. The AHP generates a weight for each defined criterion and assigns a score for each FReMaCo option. Then, the AHP combines the criteria weights and the option scores to determine a global score for each construction alternative that evaluate the impact of FReMaCo options in a comprehensible manner. The application of AHP reduces the bias in the decision making process and is therefore of international interest, especially for those involved in improving the resilience properties of buildings.
