This book covers the seismic risk assessment of existing buildings
based on hazard and vulnerability assessment. Hazard maps have been
developed and vulnerability assessment of buildings was made by
collecting inventory data and experimental study of typical
existing buildings. Fragility curves for different types of
buildings including single and double stories unreinforced brick
masonry and concrete block masonry buildings, single, double and
three stories confined brick masonry buildings, and double stories
reinforced concrete buildings by using advanced capacity spectrum
method (ACSM). Seismic risk has been established for all these
buildings from hazard maps and corresponding fragility curves. The
seismic risk determined from the hazard maps and fragility curves
has been compared with the seismic risk calculated by using MAEviz
software developed by Mid America Earthquake (MAE) Centre. It was
found that Seismic risk for collapse prevention level is highest
for unreinforced concrete block masonry buildings and similarly the
seismic risk for confined brick masonry buildings is least. It was
also concluded that the seismic risk for reinforced concrete
buildings is minimum.
