Abstract Seismic vulnerability modeling plays a crucial role in seismic risk assessment, aiding decision-makers in pinpointing areas and structures most prone to earthquake damage. While machine learning (ML) algorithms and Geographic Information Systems (GIS) have emerged as promising tools for seismic vulnerability modeling, there remains a notable gap in comprehensive geospatial studies focused on India. Previous studies in seismic vulnerability modeling have primarily focused on specific regions or countries, often overlooking the unique challenges and characteristics of India. In this study, we introduce a novel approach to seismic vulnerability modeling, leveraging ML and GIS to address… More >

Abstract As there is a lack of earthquake damage data for factory buildings with seismic fortifications in China, seismic vulnerability analysis was performed by numerical simulation in this paper. The earthquake-structure analysis model was developed with considering the influence of uncertainties of the ground motion and structural model parameters. The small-size sampling was conducted based on the Latin hypercube sampling and orthogonal design methods. Using nonlinear analysis, the seismic vulnerability curves and damage probability matrix with various seismic fortification intensities (SFI) were obtained. The seismic capacity of the factory building was then evaluated. The results showed… More >
