Vulnerability studies on the existing building stock require that a large number of buildings is analyzed to obtain statistically significant evaluations of the seismic performance. Therefore, analytical evaluation methods need to be based on simplified methodologies of analysis which can afford the treatment of a large building population with a reasonable computational effort. Simplified Pushover-Based Earthquake Loss Assessment approach (SP-BELA), where a simplified methodology to identify the structural capacity of the building through the definition of a pushover curve is adopted, was developed on these bases. Main objective of the research work presented in this paper is to validate the simplified methodology implemented in SP-BELA against the results of more sophisticated nonlinear dynamic analyses (NLDAs). The comparison is performed for RC buildings designed only to vertical loads, representative of the "as built" in Italy and in Mediterranean countries with a building stock very similar to the Italian one. In NLDAs the non linear and degrading behaviour, typical of the structures under consideration when subjected to high seismic loads, is evaluated using models able to capture, with adequate accuracy, the non linear behaviour of RC structural elements taking into account stiffness degradation, strength deterioration, and pinching effect. Results show when simplified analyses are in good agreement with NLDAs. As a consequence, unsatisfactory results from simplified analysis are pointed out to address their current applicability limits.

The seismic vulnerability analysis of multi-span bridges can be based on the response of the piers, provided that deck, bearings and foundations remain elastic. The lateral response of an RC bridge pier can be affected by different mechanisms (i.e., flexure, shear, lap-splice or buckling of the longitudinal reinforcement bars, second order effects). In the literature, simplified formulations are available for mechanisms different from the flexure. On the other hand, the flexural response is usually calculated with a numerically-based Moment-Curvature diagram of the base section and equivalent plastic hinge length. The goal of this paper is to propose a simplified analytical solution to obtain the Moment-Curvature relationship for hollow circular RC sections. This based on calibrated polynomials, fitted against a database comprising 720 numerical Moment-Curvature analyses. The section capacity curve is defined through the position of 6 characteristic points and they are based on four input parameters: void ratio of the hollow section, axial force ratio, longitudinal reinforcement ratio, transversal reinforcement ratio. A case study RC bridge pier is assessed with the proposed solution and the results are compared to a refined numerical FEM analysis, showing good match.

Riverine flood is one of the critical natural threats to river-crossing bridges. As floods are the most-occurred natural hazard worldwide, survival probability of bridges due to floods must be assessed in a speedy but precise manner. In this regard, the paper presents a reliability-based approach for a rapid assessment of failure probability of vulnerable bridge components under floods. This robust method is generic in nature and can be applied to both concrete and steel girder bridges. The developed methodology essentially utilizes limit state performance functions, expressed in terms of capacity and flood demand, for probable failure modes of various vulnerable components of bridges. Advanced First Order Reliability Method (AFORM), Monte Carlo Simulation (MCS), and Latin Hypercube Simulation (LHS) techniques are applied for the purpose of reliability assessment and developing flood fragility curves of bridges in which flow velocity and water height are taken as flood intensity measures. Upon validating the proposed method, it is applied to a case study bridge that experiences the flood scenario of a river in Gujarat, India. Research outcome portrays how effectively and efficiently the proposed reliability-based method can be applied for a quick assessment of flood vulnerability of bridges in any flood-prone region of interest.

Seismic fragility curves play a crucial role in assessing potential seismic losses and predicting structural damage caused by earthquakes. This study compares non-sampling-based methods of seismic fragility curve derivation, particularly the probabilistic seismic demand model (PSDM) and finite element reliability analysis (FERA), both of which require employing sophisticated finite element analysis to evaluate and predict structural damage caused by earthquakes. In this study, a three-dimensional finite element model of API 5L X65, a buried gas pipeline widely used in Korea, is constructed to derive seismic fragility curves. Its seismic vulnerability is assessed using nonlinear time-history analysis. PSDM and a FERA are employed to derive seismic fragility curves for comparison purposes, and the results are verified through a comparison with those from the Monte Carlo Simulation (MCS). It is observed that the fragility curves obtained from PSDM are relatively conservative, which is attributed to the assumption introduced to consider the uncertainty factors. In addition, this study provides a comprehensive comparison of seismic fragility curve derivation methods based on sophisticated finite element analysis, which may contribute to developing more accurate and efficient seismic fragility analysis.

This paper deals with risk assessment of life in a landslide-prone area by a GIS-based modeling method. Landslide susceptibility maps can provide a probability of landslide prone areas to mitigate or proper control this problems and to take any development plan and disaster management. A landslide inventory map of the study area was prepared based on past historical information and aerial photography analysis. A total of 550 landslides have been counted at the whole study area. The extracted landslides were randomly selected and divided into two different groups, 50% of the landslides were used for model calibration and the other were used for validation purpose. Eleven causative factors (continuous and thematic) such as slope, aspect, curvature, topographic wetness index, elevation, forest type, forest crown density, geology, land-use, soil drainage, and soil texture were used in hazard analysis. The correlation between landslides and these factors, pixels were divided into several classes and frequency ratio was also extracted. Eventually, a landslide susceptibility map was constructed using a logistic regression model based on entire events. Moreover, the landslide susceptibility map was plotted with a receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve and calculated the area under the curve (AUC) and tried to extract a success rate curve. Based on the results, logistic regression produced an 85.18% accuracy, so we believed that the model was reliable and acceptable for the landslide susceptibility analysis on the study area. In addition, for risk assessment, vulnerability scale were added for social thematic data layer. The study area predictive landslide affected pixels 2,000 and 5,000 were also calculated for making a probability table. In final calculation, the 2,000 predictive landslide affected pixels were assumed to run. The total population causalities were estimated as 7.75 person that was relatively close to the actual number published in Korean Annual Disaster Report, 2006.

One of the key tools in assessing the seismic vulnerability of the structures is the use of fragile functions, which is the possibility of damage from a particular damage surface for several levels of risk from the seismic movements of the earth. The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of two categories of earthquake events on the fragile curve (FRC) of the steel construction system. In this study, the relative lateral displacement of the structures is considered as a damage criterion. The limits set for modifying the relative lateral position in the HAZUS instruction are used to determine the failure modes, which include: slight, moderate, extensive and complete. The results show, as time strong-motion increases, the probability of exceeding (PoE) increases (for Peak ground acceleration (PGA) less than 0.5). The increase in seismic demand increases the probability of exceeding. In other words, it increases the probability of exceeding, if the maximum earthquake acceleration increases. Also, 7-storey model in extensive mode has 20 and 26.5% PoE larger than 5- and 3-storey models, respectively.

재난 리스크 모델을 활용하여 화산재 손실을 평가하기 위해서는 목적물별 손상함수가 정의되어야 한다. 손상함수란 목적물의 재해취약도를 정량화한 함수로, 공학 및 자연재해 연구 분야에서 널리 사용되고 있다. 특히 손상도, 취약성 곡선 등으로 연구되고 있는데, 학제간 연구를 수행하는 과정에서 혼란을 주기도 한다. 이에 본 연구는 손상함수의 유형을 정리하고, 손상함수를 구축한 사례를 소개하고자 한다. 손상함수는 일반적으로 과거 피해사례를 기반으로 구축된다. 국내에 화산재 피해사례가 없음을 고려할 때, 남한지역의 화산재 손상함수를 구축하기 위해서는 해외사례를 참고하여야 할 것이다. 한편 국외에서도 화산재에 대한 손상함수 연구는 다른 재난에 비해 적은데, 화산 피해사례도 적은편이다. 이에 본 연구는 극소수 피해자료를 활용하여 손상함수를 구축할 수 있는 방안을 제시하고, 뉴질랜드와 일본에서 보고된 실제 피해사례를 바탕으로 와이블함수 혹은 선형함수의 취약성 곡선을 구축하였다. 본 연구가 해외사례를 기반으로 손상함수를 구축하였음을 고려할 때, 본 연구에서 제시하는 손상함수를 이용하여 남한지역의 화산재 손실을 평가하기 위해서는 국내 목적물 특성 및 환경 조건에 맞게 손상함수를 보정할 필요가 있다.

지진으로 인한 구조물의 피해가 지속적으로 증가하면서, 구조물의 취약성을 평가하는 일은 지진 대비에 필수적으로 여겨지고 있다. 지진 취약도 곡선은 지진에 대한 구조물의 안전도에 대한 확률 지표로써 널리 이용되고 있으며, 많은 연구자들에 의해 보다 정확하고 효율적인 취약도 곡선 도출을 위한 노력이 계속되고 있다. 하지만 기존의 대부분의 연구에서는 취약도 곡선 도출시 수치해석 시간 절약을 위해 단순화된 2차원 해석모델을 사용해 왔는데, 많은 경우에 있어 2차원 모델은 정확한 구조물의 내진 거동 및 지진 취약성을 평가하기에 적당하지 않을 수 있다. 이에 본 연구에서는 3차원 해석 모델을 사용하여 더욱 정확하면서도 여전히 효과적으로 지진 취약도 곡선을 도출할 수 있는 방법을 제시한다. 이 방법은 신뢰성 해석 소프트웨어인 FERUM과 구조해석 소프트웨어인 ZEUS-NL을 서로 연동시켜 상호 자동적인 데이터 교환이 가능하게 하고, 샘플링 기법이 아닌 FORM 해석 기법을 통해 구조물의 파괴확률을 구한다. 이는 3차원 모델을 사용의 경우에도 효율적으로 구조 신뢰성 해석이 가능하게 해준다. 이를 이용해 RC 프레임 구조물의 3차원 해석 모델을 사용하여 지진 취약성 평가를 수행하였다.

자전거 교통사고는 이용수요의 증대와 더불어 지속적으로 증가하고 있는 추세이며, 기존 교통사고 자료를 통해 자전거 교통사고의 특성을 살펴보면 사고발생 지점은 주로 교차로 내부이며, 사고형태는 측면직각충돌사고가 빈번한 것으로 나타났다. 특히 자전거 교통이 상대적으로 집중되는 주택가 또는 학교주변의 이면도로 교차로에서의 자전거 안전이 취약한 실정이다. 본 연구에서는 교차로 자전거사고의 위험요인 중 교차로 가각부 곡선반경이 운전자의 시계에 미치는 영향에 주목하여 횡단자전거와의 상충위험성에 대해 이론적으로 분석하였다. 또한 운전자의 주위확인행태가 시계에 미치는 영향에 대해서도 비교 분석하여 자전거의 안전성을 고려한 교차로 기하구조 및 운전자의 주위확인행태가 미치는 영향을 제시하고자 하였다. 그 결과 교차로 가각부 곡선반경이 클수록 횡단자전거와의 상충위험성 감소하며, 또한 운전자가 우측으로 고개를 적극적으로 돌려 주위를 확인할수록 상충위험성이 감소하는 것으로 나타났다.
