A comprehensive assessment of damage caused to residential buildings in Latur earthquake is presented. The buildings, which are mostly non-engineered, have been classified based on the materials used for construction and their performance during the earthquake. The possible causes of damage, and the shortcomings in the prevalent construction practi...

... The RVS methods-based examination of each building by trained screeners takes 15 to 30 minutes from the street without entering the building. Detailed seismic assessment methods should be applied for the limited number of seismically hazardous buildings, which are classified as a result of rapid visual examination [2]. Since detailed seismic risk assessment methods are computationally expensive and complicated, using simple models is of great importance for rapid visual examination. ...
... For example, 1) The 2015 Nepal earthquake, which affected both Nepal and neighbouring states in India, caused more than 8900 deaths, injured about 21950, and triggered the widespread destruction of structures [15]; 2) The 2001 Gujrat (Bhuj) earthquake killed about 20000 people, injured about 166800 people, and destroyed about 400000 homes [16,17]; and 3) In the 2005 Kashmir earthquake, 87350 fatalities were recorded, and about 75200 people were injured [18,19]. In most earthquake events, failure and collapse of the URM buildings are observed due to excess tension under inplane shear, lack of anchorage, and also due to out-ofplane flexural tension [20][21][22][23][24]. The details of these failure modes are explained in detail in the next section. ...
