Seismic loss assessment is very useful for the design of insurance and reinsurance schemes & in the planning of urban/regional-scale emergency response,disaster planning & seismic retrofitting schemes.Traditionally,vulnerability assessment studies have employed macro seismic intensity scales to represent the ground shaking.But,where the assessment of a structure is concerned it is the displacement that gives an indication of the damage that can be expected and hence the state-of-the-art is now to use in some way the displacement response spectrum to represent the destructive capacity of the ground motion.The application of a displacement-based methodology instead of that of a traditional intensity-based method for loss assessment of Dhaka (the capital of Bangladesh and one of the major cities of South Asia),is thus the focus of this research.A displacement-based earthquake loss assessment methodology (DBELA),is applied to Dhaka and the damage is predicted based on the comparison of...
