Abstract

The importance of studies, researches and prevention about earthquake have risen after destructive earthquakes in the world especially in recent years . In order to reduce the damages of the earthquakes firstly the performance of buildings needs to be determined. Evaluation of all building under earthquake is impossible due to number of building stocks, time and personnel. Therefore, rapid assessment methods were developed for determine seismic safety of existing buildings.Rapid assessment methods can be used instead of detailed structural analysis because of the buildings stocks amount. These rapid assessment methods can be used for deciding which buildings need further structural analysis and decide to   seismic safety level of the buildings. In this study, three of these rapid assessment methods were used for a building that was damaged after 2003 Bingöl earthquake. Japon Seismic Index Method, Canadian Seissmic Screening Method and Turkish First Stage Evaulation Method were used.The study also gives usability of these rapid assessment method. The performance score of the building was calculated sperately with the use of the mentioned three methods and then compared. Building priority ranking obtained by means of the methods were found out to be identical with each other. The priority of the existing building stocks rapid evaluation methods can be used conveniently.
