The development of seismic vulnerability evaluation standards for reinforced concrete buildings in Japan is briefly reviewed. Damage statistics are shown to indicate that severe damage was observed in a relatively small percentage of existing buildings even after damaging earthquakes in the world. Therefore, a simple screening procedure is necessary to identify such vulnerable buildings out of the existing building stock. After discussing the principles of seismic vulnerability assessment using a simple single-degree-of-freedom system, applications to multi-degree-of-freedom systems and to structures of irregular configuration are discussed. A general procedure consistent with the present design provisions in Japan is introduced.
