    INTRODUCTION

    Seismic vulnerability evaluation is defined as an


    approved process or methodology of evaluating
    deficiencies in a building that prevents the building
    from achieving a selected performance objective.
    seismic vulnerability estimation is pre-requisite for
    disaster mitigation management.
    no reliable information/database available for
    existing building stock, construction practices, in-situ
    strength of material and components of the building3
    Aim is to assess the seismic capacity of earth quake
    vulnerable buildings or earthquake damaged
    buildings for the future use.
    SEISMIC VULNERABILITY
    Seismic hazard depends upon geology of the area under
    consideration and is, therefore, site specific.

    Seismic vulnerability depends upon:

    • The material of which the structure is made.

    • The mechanical properties of construction materials.

    • The geometry and layout of a building and its structural components.

    • The detailing of structural components as well as floor-wall


    connection details.

    Depending on the seismic evaluation, a building can be demolished, retrofitted to increase its capacity, or
    modified to decrease its seismic demand
    Methodologies OF
    EVALUATION -
    CLASSIFICATION

    The methodologies available so far for the evaluation of existing buildings can be broadly divided into
    two categories – qualitative methods – analytical methods

    quantitative evaluation depends on the judgment of experienced well trained engineers with the aid of
    some empirical guides. ; Analytical evaluation is performed through one or more of the different
    approaches used for seismic design or analysis of structures.
    Seismic evaluations of the buildings
    systematically performed in three levels

    1. Rapid Visual Screening,

    2. Simplified Vulnerability Assessment and

    3. Detailed Vulnerability Assessment


    CLASSIFICATION OF DAMAGE TO BUILDINGS:

    Grade1: Negligible to slight damage (No structural damage ,slight non-structural damage)
    Grade2: Moderatedamage (Slight structural damage ,moderate nonstructural damage)
    Grade3: Substantial to heavy damage (moder atestructuraldamage,heavynonstructuraldamage)
    Grade4: Very heavy damage (heavystructuraldam age,veryheavynon-structuraldamage)
    Grade5: Destruction (very heavy structural damage)
    SEISMICITY IN INDIA
    However small is the destruction and collapse of buildings in percentage, loss of lives and injuries are caused due to
    poor earthquake resistance of buildings. For the safety and mitigation of disastrous effects of earthquake hazard,
    performing seismic vulnerability assessment of all buildings in high seismic zone regions at least by RVS method is highly
    recommended.
