TL;DR: There are structures still in service with a high seismic vulnerability, which proposes an urgent need for a screening system’s damageability grading system, and the necessity of developing a rapid, reliable, and computationally easy method of seismic vulnerability assessment, more commonly known as RVS.

TL;DR: A novel framework for earthquake vulnerability assessment of buildings via Rapid Visual Screening (RVS) is proposed using type-2 fuzzy, which can handle vagueness sufficiently besides being a quick and affordable method.

TL;DR: In this article, the seismic response of masonry buildings damaged during the 2019 Mw 6.4 earthquake was investigated, and four important typologies were selected to draw general conclusions from the performance analysis and damage assessment.

TL;DR: In this paper, a systematic literature review was performed to classify the strategies to accomplish this aim, followed by a questionnaire survey of 129 construction project stakeholders, which revealed that workshops, lectures, and conference events are used to enhance public awareness and better information on the costs and benefits of sustainable materials.

TL;DR: The results demonstrate the feasibility and effectiveness of the selected ANN approach to classify concrete structural damage that can be used as a preliminary assessment technique to identify vulnerable buildings in disaster risk-management programs.
