This book is focused on the seismic vulnerability assessment
methods, applied to existing buildings, describing several
behaviors and new approaches for assessment on a large scale (urban
area). It is clear that the majority of urban centers are composed
of old buildings, designed according to concepts and rules that are
inadequate to the seismic context. How to assess the vulnerability
of existing buildings is an essential step to improve the
management of seismic risk and its prevention policy. After some
key reminders, this book describes seismic vulnerability methods
applied to a large number of structures (buildings and bridges) in
moderate (France, Switzerland) and strong seismic prone regions
(Italy, Greece). Contents 1. Seismic Vulnerability of Existing
Buildings: Observational and Mechanical Approaches for Application
in Urban Areas, Sergio Lagomarsino and Serena Cattari. 2.
Mechanical Methods: Fragility Curves and Pushover Analysis,
Caterina Negulescu and Pierre Gehl. 3. Seismic Vulnerability and
Loss Assessment for Buildings in Greece, Andreas J. Kappos. 4.
Experimental Method: Contribution of Ambient Vibration Recordings
to the Vulnerability Assessment, Clotaire Michel and Philippe
Gueguen. 5. Numerical Model: Simplified Strategies for
Vulnerability Seismic Assessment of Existing Structures, Cedric
Desprez, Panagiotis Kotronis and Stephane Grange. 6. Approach Based
on the Risk Used in Switzerland, Pierino Lestuzzi. 7. Preliminary
Evaluation of the Seismic Vulnerability of Existing Bridges, Denis
Davi. About the Authors Philippe Gueguen is a Senior IFSTTAR
Researcher at ISTerre, Joseph Fourier University Grenoble 1, France
