Abstract

Abstract In the past decades, the research and development of methodologies have received considerable attention which quantified earthquake-related damages to structures. Among these, indices of seismic risk and vulnerability assessment have indeed been developed to quantify the level of damages to structural elements or the whole structural system. In this paper, a detailed investigation has been done on the developed methodologies in the field, and the findings from other works are summarized. The authors have tried to present the most common empirical and analytical methodologies in a concise manner, which would motivate researchers and practicing engineers to use it as a comprehensive guide and reference for their future works.
