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

Microtremor analysis was conducted in southern Surabaya, East Java, to evaluate the seismic response of buildings using the Floor Spectral Ratio (FSR) and Random Decrement Method (RDM). Two buildings—a 9-story structure (Building A) and a 10-story structure (Building B)—were analyzed to assess their dynamic behavior and vulnerability to earthquake-induced shaking. As high-rise building development continues in Surabaya, such assessments are critical for enhancing structural safety. The FSR method provided estimates of natural frequency, amplification, and vulnerability index, while the RDM met

Abstract:

Unreinforced Masonry (URM) structures, such as historic buildings, traditional buildings and ordinary buildings, exist all over the world and constitute a relevant part of the cultural heritage of humanity. Their protection against earthquakes is a topic of great concern among the earthquake engineering research community. This concern mainly arises from the strong damage or complete loss suffered by these types of structures when subjected to earthquake and also from the need and interest to preserve them as a built heritage. This paper initially presents a methodology for assessing the

Abstract:

The vulnerability of buildings impacted by flash floods is often assessed by empirical approaches. However, the damage-developing mechanisms of buildings remain unclear. This study presented a nonlinear numerical analysis for the interaction between flash floods and masonry structures. A new Structured ALE (S-ALE) solver in an explicit finite element platform LS-DYNA was applied. Thirty different scenarios, including two different FE models, three different water depths, and five different flow velocities, were studied.

Abstract The project construction supply chain can be particularly vulnerable to disruptive events because of the dispersed nature of temporary project teams and the unpredictability of the operating environment. Supply chain vulnerabilities are the fundamental elements that leave the business subject to disruption. It is necessary to identify the vulnerabilities in the supply chain before attempting to improve its resilience. This study proposes to identify the primary causes of organizational vulnerability in the supply chain of construction projects based on these problems. The study focuse

Abstract:

Masonry is a widespread construction system, but it is very prone to seismic damage. In Italy, almost 60% of residential buildings are constructed in masonry, and 85% of them were built before 1980 without specific design regulation; thus, there is the need for large-scale vulnerability assessment. When large stocks of residential buildings (>50–100) are involved, also in historical centers, seismic vulnerability analysis must resort to simplified and computer-aided methods. Among these, the best known analyze (i) the overall shear strength normalized to the weight; (ii) the activation coef

In the present study, vulnerability level of individual farming households to climate change is examined in Himachal Pradesh, North-western state of India. Principal Component Analysis (PCA) was used to develop vulnerability index for individual household. Mean household vulnerability index in the study area was 0.27. The farming households from Kullu district were the most vulnerable (5.94) while those from Hamirpur district were least vulnerable (-3.37). The study successfully identified the regional sources of vulnerability and prioritises the districts for adaptation planning. Implication

Within this framework, this study informs the progress towards a more systematic approach to factor development for a Relative Vulnerability Index (RVI) score for assessing the building vulnerability towards tsunami hazard. The RVI score is used to predict tsunami risk zones on building vulnerability. The analysis was conducted to develop the factors that influence the building
