Vulnerability assessment of buildings in Ranau township : methodological design

Structural damage usually happens during earthquake events. This had caused damage of properties and even worse, loss of lives. Usually, the greatest losses were not caused by the quake specifically, but rather because of the fall of the structures. The vulnerability is a degree which buildings ar...

description Structural damage usually happens during earthquake events. This had caused damage of properties and even worse, loss of lives.
