In order to improve the accuracy of earthquake damage assessment of reinforced concrete structure, the earthquake damage assessment mutation model and four-dimensional model of seismic damage analysis are established using catastrophe theory. Firstly, internal damage index, number of inelastic cycles, maximum inter-storey drift and energy-concentrated quotient were taken as evaluation factors. Value assignment and standardization of each evaluation index is conducted. The appropriate mutation model is selected to calculate the total mutation value of seismic damage and comparison with the evaluation criteria of seismic damage of reinforced concrete structure, the extent of structural damage is differentiated. Secondly, comprehensive consideration of people's initiative and non-linear characteristics of the system, a four-dimensional seismic damage analysis model is build based on the mutation assessment of earthquake damage. Finally, four different structures are calculated and the results are compared with the ones of variable fuzzy set theory, set-pair theory to verify the reasonableness and effectiveness of the method.

In order to improve the information extraction technology of seismic damage assessment and information publishing of earthquake damage. Based on past earthquake experience it was constructed technical flow of earthquake damage assessment rapidly, This paper ,take Yushu earthquake as example, studies the framework and establishment of the information service system by means of ArcIMS and distributed database technology. It analysis some key technologies , build web publishing architecture of massive remote sensing images. The system implements joint application of remote sensing image processing technology, database technology and WebGIS technology, The result could provide the important basis for earthquake damage assessment ,emergency management and rescue mission.

A damage assessment survey of 169 low-rise reinforced concrete buildings was conducted following the 16 April 2016 Ecuador earthquake. Forty-four percent of the buildings surveyed sustained severe structural damage. Using the collected data, seismic vulnerability indices were calculated to examine their correlation with damage observations. It was found that 92% of the buildings with observed severe structural damage had calculated wall and column index pairs (WI, CI) that satisfied the relation WI+CI/2 < 0.2%. The frequency of damage was lower for higher-priority index values, defined as the sum of CI+WI. Furthermore, frequency of damage in buildings with captive columns was observed to decrease with window height-to-column height ratios of more than 20%.

The damage assessment of reinforced concrete structure after fire was investigated by the pertinent theory of fuzzy mathematics and a mathematical model was established. With the establishment of the assessment system, the ascertain of the factorial weighting, the numeric quantification of various qualitative factors and quantitative factors and the application of fuzzy assessment , a new assessment system which based on the theory of fuzzy mathematics and was suitable to the damage assessment of reinforced concrete structure after fire was formed. An elaborate introduction on the establishment of the means and process of the assessment model was made, finally a practical example was showed to concretely illustrate the means and process of the assessment system.

AbstractPost-Earthquake damage assessment has always been one of the major challenges that both engineers and authorities face after disastrous earthquakes all around the world. Considering the number of buildings in need of inspection and the insufficient number of qualified inspectors, the availability of a thorough, quantitative and rapidly applicable damage assessment methodology is vitally important after such events. At the beginning of the new millennia, an assessment system satisfying these needs was developed for the Turkish Catastrophe Insurance Pool (TCIP, known as DASK in Turkey) to evaluate the damages in reinforced concrete (RC) and masonry structures. Since its enforcement, this assessment method has been successfully used after several earthquakes that took place in Turkey, such as 2011 Van Earthquake, 2011 Kutahya Earthquake, 2019 Istanbul Earthquake and 2020 Elazig Earthquake to decide the future of damaged structures to be either ‘repaired’ or ‘demolished’. Throughout the years, the number of research activities focusing on the reparability of earthquake-damaged structures has increased, which is a purposeful parameter in the determination of buildings’ future after earthquakes. Accordingly, TCIP initiated a research project with a sole aim to regulate and reevaluate the damage assessment algorithm based on the results of state-of-the-art scientific research. This chapter presents the new version of the damage assessment methodology for reinforced concrete structures which was developed for TCIP (TCIP-DAM-2020). In addition, an application of the developed damage assessment algorithm on an earthquake-damaged reinforced concrete building which was struck by Kocaeli (1999) earthquake is presented.

In view of the problem that seismic damage evaluation for reinforced concrete structure are difficult to quantify, a new model for seismic damage evaluation was established by five-element connection number based on set pair analysis in the paper, which took internal damage index, maximum inter-storey drift, number of inelastic cycles and energy-concentrated quotient as evaluation factors. All indexes can be summarized into five-element connection number. Four different types of structure are analyzed on the model with more satisfactory results. Compared with the matter-element analysis evaluation method, this model is perfect, the evaluating result is more reasonable and its resolving power is higher. By this practical example, the model proved to be effective in seismic damage evaluation on reinforced concrete structure.
