I would like to deepen a set of qualitative indicators for assessing (and monitoring) building vulnerability to earthquake when the information commonly used in literature are not available. In my case study the qualitative assessment of the building stock is too difficult do to the information about the project of the structural system are not available, building maps are not updated and the main construction elements are not visible. The building stock is a set of government buildings that could be strategic for managing the impacts of the earthquake.
With my research unit, we consider the building as a system and organized the element at risk in three classes: human life, building operation, information and data stored in the building. We posit that building vulnerability depends on three main conditions (sub-systems): structural capacity; use typology (including users number and typology); morphology and distribution of the space (indoor and out door). For each of that we prepare an inspection formt containing a set of potential indicators of the sub-system vulnerability.
Before of advancing in defining the assessment method, I would like to have a check with the scientific community about our first approach.
Suggests concerning the assessment method are welcome as well.
