International Journal for Research in Applied Science & Engineering Technology (IJRASET) ISSN: 2321-9653; IC Value: 45.98; SJ Impact Factor: 7.429 Volume 8 Issue VI June 2020- Available at www.ijraset.com F. Case Study An educational building of G+1 is taken for the case study from the surveyed buildings. Scores are calculated based on the two methodologies as presented in Fig: 1 and Fig: 2. As per Ningthoujam and Nanda [1], the building will face grade 4 damage and need further detailed evaluation, whereas the school building will face grade 2 damage as per FEMA and need not further re-evaluation for the seismic event.

World has experienced numerous destructive earthquakes in the history resulting numeral of fatality and severe property damage [11]. Numerous of engineered and non-engineered buildings have damaged as well as collapsed via the Bhuj earthquake (India) [9]. The urban areas of a country have experienced a rapid growth in population through the previous few decades due to migration of people from rural areas to the urban areas for the reason of earning [11]. In present’s scenario, most of the existing buildings all around the globe are not designed to withstand against any strong ground shaking. Although, the data required for the vulnerability assessment of each building during the earthquake are not available which results in the more damage and life loss [8]. The Indian subcontinent is quite frequently observing earthquakes of varying magnitudes. Few earthquakes occur of low to moderate at an interval of 2-3 years [14]
