“…In the cases considered in this study, this value is not exceeded, or it is exceeded for an inter-story drift higher than 0.02. This value of the inter-story drift corresponds to the collapse threshold for RC buildings in Greece [55]. We observe that the masonry in the C3L model leads to a considerably lower first eigenperiod with respect to C1L (Table 1) and that the collapse mechanism of the C3L model is the same as that in the C1L model, i.e., plastic hinge formation at the bottom and top of the ground floor columns.…”

“…Bi's study [8] on the vulnerability of masonry structures used the peak ground acceleration as the input of earthquake ground motion and proposed a rapid assessment method for seismic loss as well as a determination of relevant parameters. More recently, methodologies for vulnerability (fragility) curves have also been applied to estimate seismic damage and the direct economic loss of buildings at community and municipal levels [38,39].…”

The growing densities of human and economic activities in cities lead to more severe consequences when a catastrophe such as an earthquake occurs. This study on urban seismic risk evaluation is carried out from the perspective of the direct loss caused by disasters in urban areas, including the measurement of both the expected direct economic loss and loss of life in the face of characteristic earthquakes. Aiming to estimate, quantify and visualize the earthquake risk in each unit of urban space, this research proposes to assess urban seismic risk by integrating the direct economic loss and the loss of statistical life in a disaster, with consideration of diverse earthquake frequencies. Empirical research of the proposed assessment framework and corresponding models is then conducted to measure urban seismic risk in Xiamen, China. Key findings of the case study include the expected direct economic losses and the expected number of deaths in three characteristic earthquakes, their estimated spatial distributions, the average loss of the value of a statistical life (VSL) of one average local resident and the overall seismic risk distributions in Xiamen.

“…HAZUS sets the collapse threshold at a maximum interstorey drift of 0.0333 for C2M buildings, while Kappos [29] at 0.02 for buildings in Greece. Therefore we calculate the degraded stiffness of each structural element with its corresponding power fit function (excluding values equal to 1.0) for a series of first storey drift in the range of 1•10 -4 to 4•10 -2 and perform modal analyses of the resulting building models.…”
