Abstract:
Industrial accidents may result in injuries and damage to buildings. Buildings as an important category of hazard-bearing bodies in industrial accidents cannot be ignored in regional risk assessment. The purpose of this study is to introduce building vulnerability into the study of hazard-bearing body vulnerability and build a comprehensive vulnerability assessment model of hazard-bearing body. A comprehensive risk assessment method is proposed which considers the accident consequences and the vulnerability of hazard-bearing body. Firstly, an accident scenario was established and accident foot

Abstract:
Reinforced Concrete (R/C) buildings experienced major damage in past earthquakes. Structural damage including column cracking, shear failure and collapse, were due to particular conditions, such as: poor member sizing and detailing, soft stories, building irregularity, bounding, bad quality of construction materials and workmanship. Various approaches and methods to assess the seismic vulnerability of buildings were established through examining a damage indicator: “vulnerability index”.

Abstract:
Tsunami hazard is an adverse event, which causes damage to properties and loss of life. The study on the effects of tsunami hazard on building vulnerability can help establish and improve the resilience of the building. The problem in assessing the building vulnerability towards tsunami hazard is significant whereby available models for assessing the risk are not applicable for buildings in Padang, Indonesia. The study developed a new Relative Vulnerability Index (RVI) model to estimate building vulnerability for assessment the risk. Literature review was carried out with regards to model deve

Most of these buildings have been or are built without consideration of their vulnerability to such events.
