Abstract

Seismic Vulnerability Assessment estimated by different methods. Estimation of losses due to earthquake is importance for emergency planners and evaluators. For present work, we will look on the Seismic Vulnerability Index method for different types of structure. Existing structure is assessed using Vulnerability Index Method. This method is used to establish a good classification and to allow better description of the Seismic quality of different kinds of constructions. By using this method, structure can also be classified as safe, unsafe or intermediate. Different parameters are determined by post seismic observations and seismic experience feedbacks. The aim of vulnerability assessment is to obtain the probability of given level of damage to a given building type due to earthquake.
