trust platform: the first building-specific seismic risk assessment tool for iran

Over the past years, different building-specific seismic risk assessment tools have been developed. these tools are intended to estimate damage costs and functionality downtime of buildings, which are beyond the life safety requirements of current codes. although all these programs can be used to measure the performance of different structures, they highlydepend on regional economics and construction procedures. in addition, downtime loss estimations are significantly a function of operational efficiency of local contractors and developers (kahandawa et al., 2018). therefore, a buildingspecific seismic risk assessment tool for a certain geographic region is inevitable.
