Abstract

This paper addresses the large-scale classification of the seismic vulnerability of nonstructural components in school buildings. A rapid visual screening methodology is proposed that highlights the factors that likely have a major effect on the seismic behavior of nonstructural building components. This methodology is based primarily on questionnaire forms that are used to construct a nonstructural index and priority ranking that identifies the most vulnerable category of nonstructural components. Because numerical answers in the questionnaires can produce unreliable results, a calibration of the categories by weight is proposed via fragility functions to obtain a vulnerability index. Finally, the developed methodology is applied to a case study of school buildings in Italy. Copyright Springer Science+Business Media Dordrecht 2015
