“…It is essential to create and strictly enforce construction codes. [12] This study, Portugal's rst seismic risk analysis of precast reinforced concrete buildings, underlines the urgent need to investigate risk reduction measures to limit the potential direct and indirect repercussions on the Portuguese economy. If it happened offshore, this type of construction, which makes up 12% of the industrial building portfolio, might destroy 1% of the national GDP.…”

“…An overview of the many types of failures reported in Indonesian building projects is provided, with special emphasis on Rumoh Aceh's traditional wood structure's tolerance to seismic activity. in [14] As the rst seismic risk analysis of precast reinforced concrete buildings in Portugal, this study highlights the urgent need to investigate risk reduction techniques to mitigate the potential direct and indirect effects on the Portuguese economy. According to the analysis, the damage from this type of construction, which represents 12 percent of the industrial building portfolio, might equal approximately 1 percent of the national gross domestic product if it occurred offshore.…”

In recent times, earthquakes have surpassed droughts and floods as the most devastating natural disasters. Therefore, the primary objective of this study is to evaluate, analyze, and simulate the seismic vulnerability of Cyprus. The outcomes will be invaluable for humanitarian and governmental organizations in the face of large-scale calamities, as well as for implementing preventive measures to mitigate earthquake impacts. To achieve this, the research focused on assessing the seismic vulnerability of buildings in Cyprus through seismic hazard analysis and the development of vulnerability curves. Two scenarios were employed to determine the potential damage caused by ground accelerations on different structures and elements. The proposed methodology offers effective solutions for disaster management and risk reduction in the region, offering a comprehensive evaluation of the seismic vulnerability of buildings in Cyprus. Additionally, a risk analysis map was utilized to estimate the seismic losses incurred by the buildings under investigation. The results indicate that, on average, the first and second earthquake scenarios resulted in structural damage percentages of 29% and 43% respectively. Moreover, simulation results indicate that, in the worst-case scenario, approximately 2% of the buildings in Cyprus could be destroyed. These findings provide valuable insights for reducing the vulnerability of buildings in Cyprus to earthquake events.

Earthquake Economic Loss Assessment of Reinforced Concrete Structures Using Multiple Response Variables

For buildings that meet the requirements of current seismic design codes, damage to nonstructural components and the internal objects of buildings often become the main source of the seismic economic losses of these buildings. However, the current specifications only consider the safety of ‘no collapse under strong earthquake’ and do not consider ‘functional recoverability’. In this paper, a six-story frame building was taken as an example. Four joint performance limit states were proposed, as per FEMA 273, to establish a two-dimensional probabilistic seismic demand model that considers parameter correlations. The limit state function was established, and the two-dimensional seismic vulnerability curve was calculated. The seismic intensity–economic loss curve and the annual average economic loss established by one-dimensional and two-dimensional seismic vulnerability curves were compared. The results showed that the seismic performance of the structure was lower than expected when using only a one-dimensional seismic vulnerability curve. However, the situation was more serious under high-intensity earthquake and high-performance levels.
