The assessment of the seismic vulnerability of all school buildings located at Chorrillos and Barranco districts in Lima, the capital city of Peru, was conducted using the Rapid Visual Screening procedure of ATC-21. A total of 28 school buildings were evaluated in Barranco, and 80 in Chorrillos, comprising all kindergarten, primary, and secondary school buildings existing in these two districts.
... [Show full abstract] Even though some buildings are relatively new, their structural scores indicate that most of them show from medium to high seismic vulnerability. This information has been correlated with local soil conditions and seismic intensities observed in the past in the two districts.
