Site-Specific Vulnerability Assessment of Buildings Exposed to Rockfalls
Abstract A landslide is one of the most common hazards occurring in mountainous region in response to a number of natural and anthropogenic processes. In particular, South Asian nation including India is the worst hit by landslides. Thus the vulnerability assessment towards landslides becomes an important aspect, as it pose risk to human life, environment, buildings, and infrastructures. From the perspective of natural and engineering sciences, vulnerability is defined as the degree of loss, or damage to a set of element at risk within the affected area due to landslides. It acts as a primary component in the evaluation of landslide risk, and its accurate estimation is necessary in making a reasonable prediction of the landslide consequences. The present paper aims to produce a framework for assessing the physical vulnerability of building exposed to rockfall using the empirical formula proposed by Li et al. (Landslides 7(2):125–134, 2010 [3]) in terms of resistance offered by building and the intensity of rockfall. The proposed methodology permits to obtain an estimate of vulnerability of buildings when hit by three different intensities (low, medium and high) of rockfall. Finally, application of this proposed framework is illustrated through a case study from Chamoli district, Uttarakhand (India).
