Abstract:
AbstractLarge earthquakes not only directly damage buildings but also trigger debris flows, which cause secondary damage to buildings, forming a more destructive earthquake-debris flow disaster chain. A quantitative assessment of building vulnerability is essential for damage assessment after a disaster and for pre-disaster prevention. Using mechanical analysis based on pushover, a physical vulnerability assessment model of buildings in the earthquake-debris flow disaster chain is proposed to assess the vulnerability of buildings in Beichuan County, China.

Abstract:
Assessing the seismic vulnerability of large numbers of buildings is an expensive and time-consuming task, requiring the collection of highly complex and multifaceted data on building characteristics and the use of sophisticated computational models. This study reports on the development of a data mining technique: Support Vector Machine (SVM) for resolving such multi-dimensional data problems for assessing buildings’ seismic vulnerability at a regional scale. Particularly, we developed an SVM model for rapid assessment of the macroscale seismic vulnerability of buildings in terms of spectral

Abstract:
In India, 85% of existing buildings are unreinforced masonry and 5-7% are reinforced concrete and 5-7% are traditional buildings. And most buildings do not qualify to resist earthquakes, technically it can be said that they would not be able to resist earthquake loads. In the past, it is seen at the time of the earthquake, millions of lives and the economy of that region is affected. Demolition of ageing building mass is not only harmful to the environment but also it is not viable economically to rebuild all vulnerable buildings. Such buildings are recommended to be retrofitted.

Abstract:
Flood vulnerability is the key to understanding and assessing flood risk. However, analyzing flood vulnerability requires sophisticated data, which is usually not available in reality. With the widespread use of big data in cities today, it is possible to quickly obtain building parameters in cities on a large scale, thus offering the possibility to study the risk flooding poses to urban buildings. To fill this research gap, taking Shanghai as an example, this study developed a new research framework to assess urban vulnerability based on vulnerability curves and online data of residential bui

Abstract:
Abstract Buildings are crucial in disaster risk management, particularly for Tsunami events, as they are vulnerable to damage. Many parameters influence the assessment of building fragility due to a tsunami, one of which is the hydrodynamic forces impacting the building. The hydrodynamic forces acting on the building are influenced by the tsunami’s height and velocity, the building’s location, and the gaps between adjacent buildings. Previous studies have shown that objects in the center receive wave reflections from surrounding objects, and smaller gaps between objects increase the forces. Ho

Vulnerability was defined by estimating an index proposed by expert opinion. Damage was defined by means of a da mage index depending on nonlinear static analysis.

This study proposes a framework for incorporating time-dependent fragility into large-scale risk assessment models, focusing on incremental building expansion as a significant driver of changes in vulnerability. In rapidly urbanizing areas in developing countries, the pay-as-you-go process of informal building construction and staged expansion is the de facto pattern of growth. While there is a common understanding that such expansions increase the earthquake vulnerability of buildings, this study proposes a framework to model and quantify this increase.

Historic structures are inherently vulnerable to moisture ingress in that they are typically composed of porous materials, which naturally absorb moisture. Ingress leading to heightened moisture content causes decay and damage in the fabric, which can lead to deterioration in the mechanical behaviour of the material and construction systems.

Abstract:
The seismic vulnerability assessment of the diverse categories of buildings found across building stocks requires specific methodologies that can capture the wide range of standards, regulations, construction practices, architectural layouts, earthquake design scenarios, and available knowledge. Previous vulnerability models have employed varying assessment approaches, building taxonomies, representations of seismic loading, and, in some instances, relied on a limited number of representative structures to represent an entire building class. Consequently, these models often fail to fully captu

Abstract:
The U.S. national parks have experienced significant climate-change impacts and rapid, on-going changes are expected to continue. Despite the significant climate-change vulnerabilities facing parks, relatively few parks have conducted comprehensive climate-change vulnerability assessments, defined as assessments that synthesize vulnerability information from a wide range of sources, identify key climate-change impacts, and prioritize vulnerable park resources (Michalak et al. In review). In recognition that funding and planning capacity is limited, this project was initiated to identify geogra

Abstract:
Natural Resources Canada, in partnership with the Global Earthquake Model Foundation, has prepared a public Canadian Seismic Risk Model to support disaster risk reduction efforts across industry and all levels of government, and to aid in Canada's adoption of the Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction. Developing this model has involved the creation of a national exposure inventory, Canadian specific fragility and vulnerability curves, and adjustment of the Canadian Seismic Hazard Model which forms the basis for the seismic provisions of the National Building Code of Canada.

Abstract:
This report discusses the effect of global integration through trade and investment liberalization on small economies. Findings included the idea that small states are more vulnerable and experience greater income volatility than larger states, and that the sources of this vulnerability are often a result of the external environment. This report offers a range of common relevant policy actions for small states themselves and the international community to deal with their special problems of volatility, vulnerability, transition to the changing global trade regime, capacity building and the cha
