✦ Synopsis

Vulnerability is defined as the degree of damage (or loss) due to shaking of a given intensity. The text of the MSK macroseismic scale describing individual intensity grades determines vulnerability functions for three main categories of structures. The resulting curves are compared with the few existing examples of vulnerability curves derived for specific categories of buildings in the Caucasus and in California.
