Abstract
Earthquakes are the most destructive natural disaster causing lot of casualties, injuries and economic losses leaving behind a trail of panic. Earthquake risk assessment is needed for disaster mitigation, disaster management, and emergency preparedness. Vulnerability of building is one of the major factors contributing to earthquake risk. The vulnerability functions framed for a particular building is input parameter for loss estimation. Procedure for developing fragility curves of specific building type is discussed. Seismic fragility curves were developed and damage probability threshold has been constructed for the chosen problems.
