Description of the research topic:

Vulnerability can be determined with the help of different methods. The selection of the methods depends on the objective of the study, the required results and on available data, and can be grouped according to the space scale considered for analysis: e.g. urban level or building level, etc. Large-scale approaches are based on empirical methodologies and local scale assessments are performed using some detailed numerical analyses. As these methods are getting more complex, they become more accurate, but also more expensive, requiring higher computational and evaluation effort. Vulnerability assessment can be performed after or before an earthquake with different aims: either to determine retrofitting measures or to estimate expected damage for prevention purposes respectively.
Goal of the research is to refine existing methods of visual screening meanwhile enhancing the reliability of these methods. Furthermore simplifications could be implemented concerning empirical methods, in order to reduce the man-hours needed for field survey.
