“…This to a large extent limits the applicability of various existing methods developed for the vulnerability assessment of existing buildings. The Vulnerability Index Method was developed in Italy, the foundation of which is Vulnerability functions generated from a building typology's vulnerability index and documented damage relationship, as well as two other methodologies recently developed by the RISK-UE WP4 Project (used for Bosnia and Herzegovina by [5][6] [7], the LM1 (empirical) and the LM2 (mechanical) [8] methodologies. They are based on, respectively, Damage Probability Matrices related to Building Typology Matrices (from observed damage), Capacity Spectra and Fragility Models (from numerical models), and Building Typology Matrices.…”

The 2020 earthquakes that hit the Croatian capital city Zagreb and Petrinja revealed the (un)preparedness of the country once exposed to strong earthquake motion. Three years after, numerous buildings out of 25,000 that have been heavily damaged and destroyed still have not been reconstructed. The effect of the earthquake was felt as well in the bordering cities and towns in Bosnia and Herzegovina (BIH). Seismic assessment of the existing buildings in BIH is done by individual researchers and there is no defined methodology not policy for such activities. This paper aims to present the work that has been done in this field up to now and to give guidelines for the further work that needs to be conducted. The starting point was the calculation of the earthquake risk for the entire Bosnia and Herzegovina based on the rapid assessment taking into account the vulnerability of buildings, seismic hazard, and population exposure. A more detailed assessment was conducted for the three largest cities in BIH, specifically Sarajevo, Banja Luka, and Tuzla. Typical residential masonry structures were identified, and detailed calculations were conducted, leading to the need for their strengthening. To have a more detailed picture much work has to be conducted.

“…Having in mind that more than 40% of all structures in Europe were constructed before the 1960s, possessing limited seismic and energy efficiency regulations, some questions about their structural safety and energy performance should arise. In the last decades, various researchers have investigated the vulnerability of existing buildings, many times motivated by catastrophic seismic events (Donaire-Avila et al, 2012;Indirli et al, 2013;Fiorentino et al, 2017;De Luca et al, 2018;Chieffo and Formisano, 2019;Ademović et al, 2020;Chieffo and Formisano, 2020;Ademovic et al, 2022;Aguilar-Meléndez et al, 2022;Avila-Haro et al, 2022).…”

“…Concerning energy performance, thermal transmittance takes into account heat losses due to conduction, convection, and radiation. Mutual features in the assessment of seismic and energy efficiency analysis are the construction period, structural system or material, and the number of stories (Ademović et al, 2020;Pohoryles et al, 2020;Ademovic et al, 2022). The mutual denominator is age.…”

The European building stock presents pertinent issues needing suitable strategies to be solved. In detail, this regards seismic safety and energy efficiency of buildings to ensure more liveable and safe cities, which represents an important goal for modern societies. Energy performance includes both comfort and saving, the latter required for a more responsible resource consumption within the building sector, having a considerable contribution to the total demand. Current strategies do not seem to be able to simultaneously solve such aspects satisfactorily, both for higher economic requirements and poor technical feasibility implied by separated and disharmonious interventions. Thus, a holistic perspective should be adopted to pursue such an ambitious objective, which has recently gained increasing attention among researchers. Current requirements are firstly highlighted to show the need for an integrated approach to building retrofit. Secondly, a critical review of integrated strategies combining seismic and energy refurbishment proposed in the literature is reported. Then, special issues are discussed, including the feasibility of an integrated approach applied to heritage buildings. This study revealed that a fully efficient strategy for integrated retrofit has not still been proposed in the literature and there are several open issues to be solved. However, current solutions may be further developed to improve them and the several options currently available demonstrated the increasing attention and importance of the topic. Finally, concluding remarks on this research topic have been drawn to promote future studies.

Seismic vulnerability assessment of any building is done to evaluate the expected damage from future earthquakes. The vulnerability assessment is a time-consuming procedure and difficult as well. Rapid visual screening (RVS) method is a quick and efficient process to identify and rank the buildings. This study describes and compares the outcome of previous researches on conventional RVS methods. This paper summarizes the comparative study among various RVS methods used around the world. Methods have been evolved on the basis of prevalent geographical conditions The various methods for RVS have different scoring patterns. The method differs with different parameters such as load path, no. of stories, weak stories, torsion, pounding effects etc. The comparison chart is drawn for the damageability scales of different countries. The limitations and advantages of various RVS methods have also been discussed. The review of the traditional method can help in the derivation of new techniques in the field of vulnerability study using fuzzy logic and artificial intelligence.
