Alternative Procedures of Damage Evaluation Integrated Rapid Assessment Techniques for Reinforced Concrete Buildings

Abstract

Rapid seismic assessment techniques have been frequently preferred over the last decade with less effort and time.  Recently, two of the most leading examples in this area are P25 method and Capacity Index method, they both are based on scoring and evaluation of main structural parameters being close to the code based design approach instead of simple checks and survey. However, damage states of members are not directly reflected to the vulnerability assessments according to the damage qualification but some generalized coefficients are used. From this viewpoint, in this study, the microregional building stock (150 systems) is selected, P25 and Capacity Index method are carried out and damage state of members is taken into account by visual observation scores. With the procedures proposed in this study, alternative evaluation procedures of damage qualification integrated rapid assessment techniques are proposed in a simpler and clearer way.  The main aim of this research is to emphasize the validity of rapid assessment techniques combined with damage qualification of members.
